^ very beautiful, around here they call those "fruit stands" (seed hats?) "Kerzen" or candles.
Your new neighbourhood is far away from your current one?

^ Yes we call them candles too
Our new place will be in the next village, about 4 miles away. Needs must, I'm afraid: we've seen too many friends & neighbours become stranded out here once they are no longer fit & healthy so we're looking ahead. Losing the car recently has just been a foretaste

Will the nearby village come with electricity and running water?

Don't forget the angry peasants with their pitch forks and torches.

re Jim
In Germany we already had running water before roman times. Right down the (inner) walls.

Thanks, Marc - my wife is very tearful now reading your words; yes a great deal of melancholy, and especially since the time here has gone so quickly. We always knew we'd have to leave one day, whether we liked it or not, but it's come around so fast. Thank you for your kind wishes; we do already have a "second home" in the in-laws' house (which is where we'll be moving to) but it's not in the country and we'll just miss the hell out of all the nature and vistas we have here
@ Jim - there's even buses and a mailbox there, right by the house

Eichhörnchen,
this full movie, just for you and your wife. Its bitter, its sweet, and there is a beautiful truth in it that is beyond words. I have a feeling of that it fits in here. One of my top favourites.

Careful young fella, if the illegals learn of this they'll soon be moving inland

A nice "walking" video ( not by me ) of my neck of the woods. Through the lovely Royal Botanical Gardens through Woollomoolloo ( even I can't spell it ) , up the Man o War steps ( locally known as "Heart Attack Steps" ) and up and down various streets in "The Cross". Filmed about a year ago, Post Lockdown.....but where are all the people ???? Very slow paced but beautiful scenery.

Here is a photo I took of the "Meridian Zero" marker which is very near to our house
