So happy to hear you are in Berlin, Reece. Though I have not been, it sounds like your kind of town. Hip, educated, sophisticated. The closest I've been was a few weeks in Dresden in '15, and I liked it.
What a mess mothers can be. I've not spoken to mine in over 15 years. Truth be, I don't even know if she's still on the planet, as she would be 90 now.
Looking forward to reading how Berlin plays out for all of you. Certainly seems a good place for the Little One to begin school.
All the best to you my friend, as this new transition takes shape.
