Hello desertgrandma and cassidym
Thank you for you replies
@ cassidym : I live in Menden NRW which if you look at a map of Germany about 20 km SSE of Dortmund. Quite far from Berlin or Stuttgart both of which I have never visited (shame on me I know) but they are on my list of places to visit along with Edinburgh and the whole of Italy.
Take care
