And freezing to bring y'all a few candid shots. My poor thighs turned blue which clashed terribly with my grey herring bone hold ups. So just took a few and dashed off for some Glühwein. Berlin is a beautiful city in the winter and they really love Christmas. With all sorts of Christmas images, shows, trees, decorations and markets. I had a wonderful time there.
This is my new red wool coat. I bought it especially for my trip.
It looked really bright and festive and it was warm which was a real boon in the -10 temps. Of course I have piles of clothes on underneath it.
I'm off for the rest of the week and hoped to do some final Christmas shopping. However with the schools being closed it seems I'll be spending time with my baby instead. So there will probably not be the privacy or time to do any videos. I do have plenty of shots from Berlin to show y'all so I'm sure you won't feel too hard done by :)
I hope y'all enjoy these candid shots. I enjoyed the naughtiness of taking them with so many tourists around. It was a blast.
Well y'all it seems like thumbnails are all blogger are offering so I have uploaded the set to both flickr and fotki for your perusal. I hope y'all enjoy them.

Welcome back Mandi. It's great to see the candid shots. I can imagine the look on the faces of the passing people as these pictures were taken. I can also imagine that there weren't too many sexy pins on display over there with most ladies opting for the long johns n trousers option. How hardy a soul are you, getting the sexy pins out in sub-zero temperatures?
ReplyDeleteI love the fact you go to a World famous landmark like Checkpoint Charlie and flash for the camera. I'm lolling here, looking at the pics. Brilliant!
BTW, I don't know if you're aware of this or not but I can only click on the 1st photograph to enlarge it. Is this a "feature" of Blogspot? Are there any plans to include a photoset of the Berlin pics?
Great to have you back Mands. Enjoy the lovely weather!

Fabulous, Mandi! I hope you enjoyed Berlin, it's a fabulous place. The Germans do a proper Christmas better than anyone, I reckon.
ReplyDeleteI also hope you treated yourself to some nice lingerie & stockings, so that you can treat us too!
One thing about your visit to Checkpoint Charlie, I never saw any sexy legs like those when I was there!

Hello Machman and thank you for the welcome back. I'm sorry the pictures wouldn't allow you a proper view of them so as per your request I have uploaded them so you can see the full effect. I didn't need lonjohns I think the Glühwein helped insulate me from the cold :)
ReplyDeleteHiya G, you're so right the Germans do Christmas beautifully. I loved my time in Berlin. It was my first visit but it certainly won't be my last. Thank you for the kind words. I did buy some stockings but no lingerie. Too expensive for what I could easily get here. As I'm a poor as a church mouse thrifty is my middle name :)
Hi JZB, I have uploaded the pics to flickr and fotki so hopefully that will solve the problem. I felt pretty daring considering how many tourists were around. It was fun though.
Hi Maid, Wow arrested at checkpoint Charlie for indecent exposure, how on earth would I explain that to my children? hee hee than goodness the Germans are a liberal lot eh? Thanks for your sweet words Nic.

Lovely pics lovely legs lovely,think am in
love don't tell missus she will break my nose.
Hope you had nice time xx
Dear lady, lovely pics, showing the best of Scotland and Berlin. I lived in Berlin for two years in the 1980's while the wall was up; so know Checkpoint Charlie well. But it never looked better than when you flashed a long sexy leg - and the coat is lovely, red suits you. Mind you a rag would suit a perfect being like you. Welcome back! jx
ReplyDeleteHello Paul, Thank you or the lovely comment. I love this new red coat and like you I thought the contrasting blacks was a nice touch. you have good taste Paul.
ReplyDeletehi Jim, Your secret (and nose) is safe with me :). Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. very much appreciated.
Hiya J, Thank you for the welcome. Aw what a nic thing to say but I'm sure a rag would look like a rag on me. I love red and this coat was exactly what I wanted for this winter something bright as well as practical. too many blacks and navys out there for my liking I feel winter needs a little colour so red for me please
