• Doped in Gö – September 3 2024

    Bon Courage is an antidote for fear, it allows me to take a step towards rather than retreat from people or activities even if at times it feels like I put one foot forward and three back.

  • Flying in Gö – June 27 2024

    My cardiac doctor at rehab during a consultation listed to me all the things I could do now after my heart attack… most were normal almost humdrum but when she said I could fly, I quickly interjected and said that´s amazing because I couldn´t do that before.

  • Danke Alles

    I took a picture of the group whilst suffering a heart attack and everyone pictured contributed to saving my life.

    Gö Feldweg Omloop Home In 2021 I suggested a campaign to guerilla garden the area with Cupressus Sempervirens tree seeds to propagate a Tuscan landscape to compliment the Göttingen white roads and I also suggested surreptitiously replacing asphalt with cobbles.
