For this I have to take you back three and a half decades. In a little village near Baden a new terraced house was finished and young families moved in. Some of them already knew each other briefly, others just met when moving in. Four of the seven families became very close friends, as the parents as well as the kids where of roughly the same age. We, the kids between 2 and 6 years old by then, used to visit each other day in day out, we played at the huge playground and had lots of fun together. From 1979 we spent Whitsun together in a farmhouse in Eastern Switzerland. The last time we did so was 1982, as our family had moved to Staufen in 1980. I lost contact to most of these people in the meantime, and so seeing these folks again was quite interesting.
As well was the weather: The forecast said constant rain from Friday afternoon till Tuesday. But we managed to stay out of the rain whenever we were outside.
But now I’ll let the pictures speak:
