An

early start to hunt for kindling and coal for the teenager. Felt like the Grinch but in our flat we have an oven which is in the teenagers room. The chimney sweep declared it safe so thought some coal would be appreciated to do a test run. Two petrol stations later I found kindling but coal proved more elusive. 

Otherwise a walk in Grünewald, nachos and relaxing. Talked to the German/Swiss family. 

Best wishes to everyone regardless of whether you merely enjoy the days of or actively engage with traditions of the season. 

Loved the idea of a coffee bike.
