While exploring the village of Monschau Wage found himself a new friend who he wanted to introduce us all to.
It turns out that the chaps name was Hans and he worked at the local textile mill where he could be found wringing the water out of the fabric after it had been soaked in the water pulled into the old mill from the river Rur.
Hans was nice enough to stop his work for a few seconds so that Wage could have his picture taken with him (which Wage was over the moon about).

Uglyworld #255 - Daytrip to Monschau
Wage, Babo and Jeero suggested to Scottish mum that instead of taking the long drive down to Koblenz which was already planned that we should go visit Monschau which was only a 30-40min drive from where we live outside of Aachen.
The village of Monschau is pretty cool, it is high up in the hills to the South West of Aachen and as such there is more snow around. The streets of the village are all small and are surfaced with cobble stones, with many buildings having that cool "leaning" style to them as they've moved a little since they were first built.
Wage, Babo and Jeero were all dressed for the colder weather and after seeing how fast the water was flowing down the river, they decided to pose on one of the bridges with the steeple of the church at the village square poking up over the buildings which lined the river, and the outline of the old ruin which sits on top of the surrounding hillside.

Uglyworld #233 - Wage's Winter Wonderland
Wage has been outside playing in the garden nearly all day, he says that he loves the snow so much as it's so cold and white and fluffy under his feet.
He only came in for lunch and dinner when we shouted on him for about the 200th time, and then went straight back out again once he finished eating....he sure does love playing in the snow!
