We found it!

Project Week is sadly coming to an end.  It's been fun but absolutely exhausting too.  I didn't expect it to tire me out quite so much but between the weather, all the walking and screaming kids, it has done.  Luckily today is a shorter day with the kids presenting on what they have done this week and us saying goodbye to the colleagues who are leaving us this year.

In amongst all of the trips with school this week, Nico and I have been making preparations for the big move.  We realised with England and everything, how little time we actually have left to sort things, but we're on with it.  It hasn't all been work though.  One day we had time to call in to the cathedral and if you remember the mouse I mentioned a few weeks ago - we hunted and found it.  Here it is!

Rediscovering Bremen

This week I am expecting another visit and so will hopefully spend the next four days rediscovering the city again.  I have a couple of new things planned.  First of all, last time we missed out on the English tour of the town hall and in ten months here, I still haven't been so I'm hoping to get that booked in.  

The second is a little curiosity I heard about yesterday and haven't been able to find during my brief research since.  Apparently there is a mouse in the cathedral that the old mason apprentices working on the building had to be able to name the location of in order to pass their apprenticeship.  It's one idea we are throwing around in thinking what to do with year six in project week - how long will it take them to find it?  Apparently though, it is in an area that is often cordoned off from the public so it is highly likely that I may get in some bother (again) this weekend...we will see.  Since the cathedral is manned by older people, I'll risk it.

Here's hoping for some exciting posts over the next few days!
