Schloss Sörgenloch used to be the manor house of the eponymous village, a hop, skip and 20 minutes on the bike from here.
And there’s not a lot that can beat sitting on the terrace at lunchtime on a Friday, chatting to Thomas Heinicke, the owner, and slurping one of Jürgen Hofmann‘s wines in preparation for something yummy from the kitchen.

>JB, I'm coming too!
>So Kate's zipped off without us huh! Pooh!Hey JB, I'll be right over. Order me a une grande verre de vin or something like that and we'll slurp together!
>Hi jb, Back at the library again which doesn't have the same relaxing environment as your photo, but, heck, I can at least blog from here. I should send you photos of the garden in the casa where I'm staying. Have a good week-end.
