Week 2 is from the 7th to the 13th January. We leave Fulda and head back to Edinburgh and I make a squeaky tetrahedron for Katja.   <img alt=”It’s always a sad day when we have to leave Fulda” src=”http://www.kersti.com/blogpics/7471ae7e58b511e28b2322000a1fbe1b_7.jpg” /> 130107 - It’s always a sad day when we have to leave Fulda.
