My friend Linda and I were on our first Formula 1 trip to Austria but our third F1 trip together.And this trip was more than just F1. I couldn't believe we were going to Trier as someone special lives near there. My second cousin Julian and his wife Jeannine and I had never met them. As soon as I found out I contacted him by FB and we had a date!!
We texted each other as I was traveling nearer , got into the hotel , 5 minutes to sort myself out (I thought) and I got a phone call from reception .. they were there. Oh my wordit was brilliant. We had a drink and a acquaintance chat , and they took me out for a special German meal. Absolutely super. Sorry no photos of the food. We got on amazingly . We shared Flammkuchen - Alsatian pizza -- Delicious!
I then had Jagerschnitzel , which took me straight back to
the 80's when I lived in Germany for 3 years.
I have a packet Jager sauce mix ... we used to use these all of the time ..
It was an amazing few hours. Unfortunately I did not have time to meet their children ..NEXT time hopefully. (Their eldest son was very curious as to who this member of the family was). I have also met the eldest second cousin Steven and his family (In London) and have to return to Italy to meet the youngest Sara and her family. I did go to Italy last year (F1) but unfortunately timings were not good) Who needs an excuse to go to Italy -- NOT me :-) I will show you the photos of the city in my next post. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
