Half-timbered

Went to catch up with my brother and his wife today in Buxtehude. The last time we met was last June. It was so nice to see them again, in particular since he is not keeping good health. He has Parkinson's and COPD.
Anyway, we went for a wonderful meal in a lovely restaurant situated in one of the beautiful half-timbered, thatched buildings you still find all over northern Germany.
