What memories you all are creating under that tent! And yes, what generational belonging - could there be a greater gift?!

Generational belonging--yes, that's it! I'm now in love with that phrase. Thanks for offering it, my lovely friend.

What a fun piece! My story was I fell in love with a German guy whose farming family back home were quite religious and the first time I ate there. I just grabbed my cutlery and tucked in while his family were patiently waiting for what seemed like a sermon on a bible passage. I had no idea what was being said as my German wasn't that good but it felt like a heads up wouldn't have gone a miss :-)
