Moin Wolle😉
Yes, I have indeed been to Stade a few times.
First time was many years ago on a School Exchange holiday.
I lived on the old Ringleben apple farm, just outside town back then, for a month.
They also produced an excellent Apfelsaft😋
Learned to drive a horse and wagon while I was there. Great fun.
Vividly remember belting round the cobbled streets in the Altstadt with Ushi (Ursula) in her basic 'Käfer' (Beetle), thought I was going to lose my teeth. She was a lovely girl😍 and a bit crazy.
Also lost my fear of heights while I was there, at the top of the tower at the Nuclear Power Station (KKW) on the Elbe. Great views across the Elbe from up there.
Nearly fell in the Schwinge one night, on the way home from the Bierstube!😁
Good Astra Bier😋 Happy days.
Much more recently, I was staying with some friends in a village east of Bremen and we made a day-trip (Tagesausflug) to Stade, for Old Times Sake. Much had changed. Tempus fugit🙄
Alles Gute, Doug😎
Young at heart 😉 Slightly older in other places.😊 Cheers Doug
