Right, I found my mouse, I may have (temporarily) fixed the boiler, I need to catch up on the posts. Here’s the last one from Cologne. 4th November 2022. “A European Must Visit” said Ron Pattinson in his Guide to Cologne, which sounds like a recommendation to me. Dave loved it too, and so did… Continue reading Top 10 Schnitzel & Kölsch Pubs – Brauhaus Päffgen

COLOGNE SHOPPING SPECIAL
I’ve left my mouse at home so blogging is a sod. Treat this as a “contractual obligation” post for my Patronised readers who expect a post and artisanal beer and food matching recommendation daily. 4th November 2022. Well, that’s tough, as this is a post about Cologne shopping centre as a follow-on to Pauline’s comment… Continue reading COLOGNE SHOPPING SPECIAL
LOMMI’S
4th November 2022. On our last morning in Cologne we left the bags at TRYP and walked over the Hohenzollernbrücke to the east bank. I think we got our money’s worth from this budget Wyndham hotel outside the station, but I took a fistful of sweets to make sure. Mrs RM did some energetic walking… Continue reading LOMMI’S
A blow to the diet in Brauerei zur Malzmühle
I’m guessing some of you are getting a bit bored of these German posts where nothing happens except us eating meat and potatoes and drinking Kolsch in the quiet company of gentlefolk. It’s a bit like blogging about Cheshire Brunning & Price pubs, but at least there you get to observe the farce of English… Continue reading A blow to the diet in Brauerei zur Malzmühle
STOOD BEFORE PETERS (BRAUHAUS)
“What are your favourite physical activities or exercises ?” asks Word Press this morning, somehow imagining me lost for inspiration to write about. The answer, clearly, is walking between pubs or other houses of social or cultural value, whatever they may be. Another 20,000 steps on Day 3 of the Cologne trip. 3rd November 2022.… Continue reading STOOD BEFORE PETERS (BRAUHAUS)
“Zwei Kolsch ?”
2nd November 2022. It’s tea time in Cologne. Let’s head to the Eigelstein Viertel (“long street with pub at the end“). Why head north of the hotel, when all the famous pubs are south ? To find a pub with a windmill on the sign, of course (and supermarkets with Milka chocolate afterwards). Yes, it’s… Continue reading “Zwei Kolsch ?”
MAX PAFFGEN
2nd November 2022. Walking round Cologne Old Town, I sort of knew I had to visit a Paffgen pub; Dave had said so. But I was also aware the one in the Heumarkt wasn’t the must visit. But how could you resist this gorgeous place, highly rated by Ron; I took an outside high table,… Continue reading MAX PAFFGEN
COLOGNE OLD TOWN
Greetings from snowy Sheffield. Don’t know why I bothered mowing the lawn; can’t even see it now. Word Press is still asking me about my favourite cartoon; it obviously doesn’t think I post more than once a day. Sadly, I’m not as young as BRAPA or Blackpool Jane these days and 400 words and 10… Continue reading COLOGNE OLD TOWN
I AM LEVI’S ONLY TOURIST
Today’s Word Press blogpost prompt is “What’s your favourite cartoon ?”. Out of loyalty I should say “Anything by Mark Crilley“, I guess, but that might be a slur on Mark’s artistry so I’ll say this one; Always walking, always smiling, always telling fibs. 2nd November 2022. I continued my exploration of Leverkusen, perhaps the… Continue reading I AM LEVI’S ONLY TOURIST
WHO OR WHAT IS LEVERKUSEN ?
Today’s unwanted WordPress prompt is “What could you do less of ?“. Get my hopes up, watching England, I guess. On a football theme, back to November’s trip to Germany, who will surely win the cup now. 2nd November 2022. Mrs RM had agreed to join me in Cologne on condition she could spend Tuesday… Continue reading WHO OR WHAT IS LEVERKUSEN ?
