The world could not have been more beautiful yesterday at
the Rhein Energie Stadion and the Junkersdorf woods. The area is huge and
intensively used by Koln people at weekends whether for ball games, cycling,
festivals - or simply walking around its picturesque small lakes.
A Sporting High school is also located in a superb
wooded area.
Yesterday an ecumenical group was singing its heart out in the stadium;
a family athletics fair was in full swing in a nearby racing track; and a large number of young men and
women were taking part in the finals of the German Touch Rugby competition in the complex of football fields.
First time I've seen this game – the friendly spirit evident was very impressive
– as was the sheer mix of shapes and sizes of those taking part.
Germany at its most civilised!
