The quiet season officially begins

Yesterday the best husband of all took part in the last autocross events on this year’s schedule. The weather even though mighty cold in the morning warmed up nicely during the day and made the last day of the season a huge success. The number of participants was astonishing and it seemed like everyone wanted to take their car to the track one last time before winter lowers its white blanket.

I enjoyed the trip through the flat Brandenburg countryside prettied up by the low autumn sun and those awesome tree lined country roads. This one here is on the terrain of former Soviet air base in Groß Dölln. The clearing on the right side would have been the parade-ground. Weird how quiet and peaceful this place is today. Privately owned „Driving Center Groß Dölln“ has become a mecca for motorsports enthusiasts across the country. And imagine, it’s still an active air strip. So from time to time you’ll have small air planes making their way down onto the tarmac where the guys do their dance around the cones. But with two air strips of 4000 meters there’s plenty of room for everyone.

With the switch from DST to regular time the evenings start mighty early all of a sudden. Four o’clock in the evening has had us seeing the most beautiful sunsets this past week. For most knitters this turn of the clock signals the upcoming high season for our hobby. There’s mittens and socks needed to keep small hands and feet warm. Wool garments pulled out of the closet to ward off the chill. Christmas presents to be planned and materials to be acquired. And the of course there’s much knitting to be done. Let the fun begin 🙂
