Thank you Richard no more 'barns' and thank you Isetta Owner for tweeking my picture.
Yes,as Al says great memories of days gone by. Polite German lorry drivers in huge vehicles holding back to allow a stream of microcars across the cobbles of the Hamburg dock area to the Autobahn so that we didn't get separated from our unknown guide on a Heinkel Scooter. Then when we returned to Harwich being hassled by impatient English drivers on the roundabout as we came off the ferry!
Great BBQ's provided by Otto for his foreign guests. Edwin (who spoke no German) sharing jokes the Herr Kleinschnittger (who spoke no English) over beer and beef steaks in the warm May evening. Friendships forged to this day even if its only exchanging Christmas greetings, whilst others have sadly passed away. You young'ns missed a lot. Even that last Story in 2002, Andrew and I were there having flown over without a car, the atmosphere was so very different from the 70/80's, it all seemed much more commercial from our memories of the early days.
