These are some of my favourites from the fifty or so pictures of our Bavarian trip so far submitted. You can see the rest by looking at our Flickr photostream! I am sure there are many, many more lovely pictures out there. Why not email them to choirpics@basildonchoral.org? (And tell me you’ve done it so that I can put details of who took them in the description!)

A different newspaper but mostly the same text and a different photo. And this time everybody’s watching Stephen!

Thanks to Geoff Williams for this translation of an article published on Friday 29th October, sent through by Mr Polster, the owner of the coach company. Beware that it is a big dowload (around 11mb!). Top marks, too, to Geoff, Felicity and Cherry for being the only ones of us to be watching Stephen at the moment the photographer took his snap…

Step 1
- White onions, cut into cubes
- Diced white bacon (probably streaky?)
- Garlic roll (is this a clove do you think?)
- Sauté all
Step 2
- Chop the cabbage, remove tough stems
- Pour in stock and simmer well for three-quarters of an hour
Step 3
- Puree with a hand blender to your preferred consistency (i.e. not too much!)
- Thicken with corn starch /Roux
- Add cream
- Season with nutmeg and granulated bouillon (stockcube)
If anyone has any tips on how to improve on this, please add your comments!

So the choir returned to Gößweinstein and enjoyed the hospitality of Berndt and Heike in Gasthof Stern. Many fond memories for everyone – including Bryan and Claire who nearly didn’t make it home…
