    I would like to email you a specific question about curry of all things but not sure if you want the whole complicated question in your comments section. Do you have an email address that I can use to contact you?

    I emailed you the recipe you’re looking for - I think it’ll give the result you’re looking for!

    So cute! Are you looking for homes for them eventually? Anywhere in the Cologne area?

    Hi Missyj,

    Yes… at least for some of them. They’re all male.

    Are you interested?

    Dear Cathy

    I saw your query on Toytown and also read the review on Planet Germany in the WT. I’m definitely going to get a copy: Do you know where I can get the best price?

    I like your website very much. I’ve tried to do something a little similar myself, aimed at English learners and fellow teachers.

    I’d be interested to know who did your website. I need to call in a good webcrafter, someone who can take on the tech side of mine as that’s really letting it down at the moment.

    If you could drop me a line with a suggestion, maybe also let me know what you think of some of the content on Know Howe, I’d be very grateful.
    I promise you feedback on your book in returm!
    Best

    Hi Tim,

    If you live in Germany, Planet Germany is available either on Amazon (via various resellers - but pick a UK based one if you don’t want to be hit for high postage) and even better, Buch7.

    http://www.amazon.de/Planet-Germany-Cathy-Dobson/dp/1906210489/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196850503&sr=8-1

    https://www.buch7.de/

    Right now Buch7 has the cheapest price AND as they give 50% of their profit to good causes, you can feel smug while you shop! Can’t say fairer than that!

    This site is by http://www.WordPress.com - you just register and then set up your own blog. You can change the mastheads and colours, choose your layout from a wide selection of templates…the layout I’m using is the one called “Press Row” designed by Chris Pearson. It’s all free at WordPress.

    Great blog, I added you on my blogroll on http://www.d-usa.info. I am a German living in the USA, and I always love to read what expats living in Germany think about my old home.

    Hello Cathy
    Hope you remember me, it’s Shelley from all those years ago! Was doing some surfing and stubbled across your book. Definitely going to get a copy - cant believe you have been in Germany for 15 years now

    Congratulations on the success.

    All the best, Shelley
