Last Saturday the Haddock family attended the 2
nd Annual Whiney Expat Blogger Meet Up in
Bonn. All the
usual suspects were there from last year and quite a few new faces were present as well. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay for too long as we had to travel onward to the Odenwald to celebrate the 81
st Birthday of my father in law.
It was great to see everyone at the meet up, and this year the English contingent increased by 100% as D, the boyfriend from Heather hails from London. J acted as tour guide and took us on a little tour of the city centre which I found quite charming with its pedestrian streets and open markets. We took a look in the cathedral and then headed off to an old German restaurant (where Beethoven apparently had dinner, got drunk, fornicated etc) for lunch. Unfortunately after lunch we had to say our goodbyes and then drive south. Hopefully we can attend for longer next year and I can then get to chat to everyone for longer.
The Juniorette enjoyed the meet up and was quite shy at times, which believe me is quite unusual for her. Tomorrow evening she will be in Bremen for the Champions League game between Werder Bremen & Chelsea. She will be one of the Line Up Kids that walk out onto the field with the players before the game. If she gets to walk out with Tim Borowski her evening will be complete as he is her favourite player. The game is televised by Sky Sports in the UK and Premiere in Germany.

How exciting! The whole blue-family will have a look on premiere!
LOL I was laughing so hard when you took that pic of the Juniorette!
she was a very charming young lady!
Was so nice to have met you and your family Mr. Haddock and I'm glad you had a good time :D
It was lovely to see all of you again and the Juniorette was a little doll.
Fingers crossed in hopes she gets the walk-on.
On a completely different note, since you mentioned it, I somehow never thought of Beethoven as fornicating. Who put the class into classical?
It was wonderful to meet all of you as well. Juniorette is a sweetie :) Good luck with the swimming!
It was nice meeting you and your family. Hopefully we'll get to talk more next time.
What a wonderful time you had. Sorry I missed it!
I hope Juniorette gets her wish!
Great picture! I'd love to see something like that in the states, but artists don't seem to have the same sense of humor.
