Piping in the Schwarzwälderkirschtorte

Just back from a farewell party given by our German friends Christine and Uwe, leaving to return to their home in the Allgäu. Uwe learned to play the bagpipes while he lived in Ottawa and (having warned the neighbours) has demonstrated his progress year by year at his generously hosted garden parties. We've been to a series of these, sad to realise that this one is the last.
