APAW 28/52 – We Are The Lucky Ones

In case you missed it, there is severe flooding in parts of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands after a rain storm.

Ahlen had a flood in 2001 and afterwards the district invested a lot in flood protection measures, including a flood barrier just a few hundred meters down our road. That’s the bridge you see in the photo. The mechanism activated automatically two times on Wednesday and Thursday. Just 70 km to the Southwest of us this happened.
We are the lucky ones. And remember the lives lost with a heavy heart.

Lunchtime Is Over

But the chicks are always hungry…

This year we have 4 nests with chicks in the car port.
