Something about "grandfather worked hard all his life, and now he's working hard on the mantlepiece. We had his ashes put in an hour glass".<br />nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040961408491639069.post-54357706240325577402014-07-24T21:02:17.091+01:002014-07-24T21:02:17.091+01:00Martin,
Many thanks for your very kind comments. ...Martin,<br /><br />Many thanks for your very kind comments. I always knew that a fine place like Wurttemberg would be well represented by some top quality people. I really like the way they don't make a song and dance about it (unlike those Austrian types)!<br /><br />I am now very attached to my "schwaben", even though they are embryonic, so I'm looking forward to getting them on the table. They, and their many victories, will be featuring on the blog in future<br /><br />regards<br /><br />JayOld Trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866101372406631079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040961408491639069.post-91660563911461394992014-07-24T14:39:13.326+01:002014-07-24T14:39:13.326+01:00just to break a lance for good old württemberg (ev...just to break a lance for good old württemberg (even though i'm not from there, i've lived there for a time, so i kind of like the place): there are quite a lot of famous württembergers: just to name a few, the poets schiller and hölderlin, the philosopher hegel, gottlieb daimler (the merc guy) & even einstein. but i certainly agree with you, a staid, serious place with quite a lot of no-nonsense people. and i won't comment the food (except the eternal german favourite of wurst).<br />by the way, a very nice blog, this one of yours. i quite often drop by & have a look. keep up the good work, & may your schwaben (that's how they call themselves) win many battles (for the good guys or the bad).<br />martinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
