Cycling to Dresden

My pitch by the Elberadweg

750 yes of Wildau Wrendorf means a mediaeval fest!

First night in the spreewald

Visiting Bernauer strasse, Berlin

You can't see but the new Versohnungs Kappele is rammed earth inside, great acoustics

Just some Schloss in Mecklenburg :-)

This year has felt really difficult, til now. Emotionally. Back in UK. In the midst of it Ive done a whole load of courses and workshops and taken part in some brilliant exciting building, met people i want to be friends with and build with more. Now its my turn to offer knowledge, at the hof in Waldviertel where i worked last summer - we put together a bid for EU funding and have designed a two week natural building extravaganza there, starting in a fortnights` time.
Im going to facilitate/lead the clay and lime strands of the renovation work. Aand im nervous, like i always am before appearing as an authority.
Im going to cycle there from my current location in Wangeliner Garten (googleable) N Germany, starting tomorrow. Im also nervous about this, as well as impatient for it, wanting to get this computer stuff out of the way, disregard comms and the civilised world for a time, get back to a simple day and night of movement and food and sleeping in trees.
Friends are coming with me some of the way, and friends will meet me when i reach my destination.
Ive felt utterly unerotic since February, since i broke up with my partner. In the tiny time setting wheels on the continent Ive reconnected with this part of myself. the traveller part who is open, childish and sensual and wants fun and love. The romantic. A woman.
And now I travel in the opposite direction from the man who prompted it...this is the physical, geographical truth. But in terms of a commitment to myself and a possible relationship, I am going to follow my heart.
