Noli
This is Noli – my horse. Or to be more precise with everything: her given name is Magnolia and she is a pony of the kind ‘Deutsches Reitpony‘. Noli was born in the stable were I took riding lessons when I was a child. In this stable every child could choose a horse or a pony to look after it, which basically meant grooming it regularly. I happened to choose a pony mare, named Towy Valley Marguerite, but because this name really is a lot too long, she is called Margie. After a while the owner decided that Margie should have a foal. And that’s where Noli occurs in this story. 
She was born in 1994 when I was 12 years old. Ever since then I also took care of her and on my 15th birthday my wish came true and Noli was my present. We changed stables then and Noli is now living in an open stable near Hamburg. The picture on the left side is taken in summer, when Noli was standing on a meadow and the picture on the right side shows the two of us going for a hack in winter.
Geocaching
As we’re preparing for our summer vacation to Sweden, we’re going over our checklist of things we want to take along. One of the items pretty high up the list is the GPS device we recently ordered at Futurumshop (a Magellan eXplorist 210) for our geocaching adventures. We’re a bit afraid that it might not be delivered in time, while it seems that Magellan is having serious delivering problems right now since they didn’t have any models at the local Globetrotter store neither anymore. Oh well, we keep faith and aren’t running around screaming and frantically waving our hands in the air… yet. Read more
