As we landed in Munich, I was listening to the B-side of Abbey Road. The lyrics as the wheels of the plane touched the German tarmac, from Golden Slumbers, were:
‘Once there was a way to get back home…’
Today we do some shopping, then we pick up dad from the train station and hit the Autobahn. Then, I think, beer.
I’ve mentioned again and again on this blog my upcoming trip to Germany, where I’ll be eagerly wandering alongside my father, retracing the considerable journeys of his childhood in the war-affected country.
I leave this week, and rather than inflict on you constant updates (as my Facebook friends have had to contend with), I have started a separate blog tracking this trip.

I’ll only be posting occasional, brief updates punctuated by the odd photo and video, since I need to save something for the ensuing project. Can’t show you everything at once!
If you’re interested in these little snippets, please subscribe to the new blog and you’ll get an email every time there’s something new uploaded.
And, friends, I’ll see you in a couple of weeks.
