Earlier this week, I came across this old drinking fountain in the village of Lealholm, in the North York Moors. The stonework is fine but the old drinking fountain has fallen into disrepair and now there is only a pipe and broken tap. Can you fix it and give us something more ornate, or can you put it to a new use?

Hi Jane,
your glass of a fine black beer, has Tami inspired to give you an insight into the local "Tänzelfest". It is considered to be the oldest children's festival in Bavaria, at which around 1,600 children and around 150 horses represent the history of the place. This festival can be traced back to a foundation of Emperor Maximilian I. Please see the results:
Unfortunately, this year's festival fell victim to the pandemic.

I looked up Tänzelfest, Hans. It sounds like a lot of fun!

... and when camp life starts, there is great fun not only for the children, but also for the adults, dressed in historical style. And - Jane - it would be the best if you would make up your own mind in 2021 (we hope so).

There is a German proverb which says, "Hope is the last to die". 😉 But unfortunately there are new Corona hotspots! 😞
