I‘d recommend Aachen in Germany, very close to Cologne, the Christmas Market is between the gothic town hall and the ancient cathedral of Charles the Great and the atmosphere is simply lovely. Also try one of the smaller towns, e.g. Goslar Or Quedlinburg Quedlinburg has the best market on...

Thank you for this link! So interesting.

I would like to take my mother, rather frail because of chemo (can't walk too long), to London in December. She is really anglophile, loves "English" Christmas and since Brexit is delayed a little further it's a now or never kind of situation (not just because of Brexit...). We are quite...

I wasn't talking about Meghan but about Charles. Saying "he doesn't remember those 2 years and hence he didn't suffer any consequences" simply ignores child psychology. I think taking small trips without your children if the bond between primary caregiver and child is otherwise strong should be...

Remembering those years is not the point - but the first 3 years are of utmost importance to the emotional development of children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment_disorder

That is so moving. I wish him lots of strength.

I adore this look. Amazing skirt. I also find the royals kind of fascinating - which is weird, because I am kind of a socialist and thoroughly against monarchy and aristocracy in our modern times. But I find the aristocracy and by extension the monarchy interesting from an anthropological...

I understand the need to curve the quadmania a bit - but trying three measures (with the changed PCS-guidelines practically four) at once? Reducing the base value, increasing the penalty for falls/mistakes and limiting the number of repeated quads to 1? It seems a bit much and somewhat...

He really did very well. And the accent isn't that strong, I am so impressed.

My head associates "tiny, frail, thin" with bad health - and with this year's team there also seemed to be a huge lack of power. None of the power moves looked anywhere close to powerful or effortless. That made watching the Chinese team on floor and vault rather painful. As others said before...

Well, I don't know where you live, but in my country you still need a damn good reason to prescribe someone aspirin (doesn't have to be the heart, can be anything from clotting disorder to arterial stenosis) - which is still a blood thinner and can have serious side effects. Unless someone...

I am sorry, but how is this diversity? Maybe in a world solely inhabited by skinny English/Swedish-speaking white people, this counts as diversity. And what kind of explanation is that - hey, people of colour - what are you moping about - yes, there are only skinny white people, but they come...

Iceland in the playoffs kind of makes my day. The smallest country ever to get this far, I think. Congrats to Bosnia, may you have a brilliant tournament. Also, my country needs a decent defense as soon as possible. When I started watching football, Germany always had an excellent defense...
