On August 23rd my friend Tini turned 40. We have known each other and been friends since Kindergarten days. As teenagers our familys were sometimes holidaying together and  as we were both in the scouts, we shared many adventures.  To celebrate Tini’s special birthay we travelled to Darmstadt on Saturday, August 24th and parked Clifford, the Red Rover inTini’s garden. The evening turned out fantastic, not only due to the amazing paella, but it was also really good to catch up with so many old friends.  We danced and celebrated and sat around a camp fire until the early morning hours.  I feel quite determined to be back for Tini’s 50th, wherever in the world I may be at that point!
