Our traditional strawberries and cream party, marking the end of our Cosmo year, was very well-attended this year, as every year. 26 ladies enjoyed a glass of prosecco and delicious strawberry cake at Cafe Fassbender in Cologne. Only the atmosphere in Cologne was quite different. It was EM time, the town was inundated with friendly Scots in their colourful kilts, Scotland vs. Switzerland were playing soccer/football in the Cologne stadium that evening. This caused chaos with the late afternoon trains for those of us using public transport but it didn’t put a damper on our delightful afternoon of coffee, tea and cake. Now we have 3 summer lunches to look forward to and the beginning of the new Cosmo year Oct. 2 at the Alte Feuerwache.
