Celle and Wienhausen

Today we prepared ourselves as if for a 2 week holiday, but it was in fact only a short excurtion from the house. Pack gloves, scarves, hats, jackets, boots, food, drinks, bibs, nappies, extra clothes, camera, bribery, purse, phone, etc.
Once we were rolling, it was great! Always great to get out!
Celle was lovely with all their middle-age buildings. Gorgeous! Bought Jozie a pair of slippers there. She chose boy's blue slippers with dinosaurs on them. Picked up some lunch from a bakery and headed back to the car. (again, got stuck at a snow mound for 20 minutes, at least). But it was actually not only a mound, it was a carved slide with ice steps. Amazing! And mega slippery!
After Celle we drove to Wienhausen which was basically on the way home. Stunning, stunning, stunning! An old monestary next to a charming old mill. Beautiful with all the snow. Absolutely beautiful.
Gran took lots of photos! Will post soon, just a bit behind with my own photos...
