Changing the water pump in our caravan gave a surprise

We needed to change the water pump after almost 4 years. We have very calcareous water and found this beautiful limestone formation. This explains why the display of the water level did not function any more.

A little side note: We filter all of our drinking and food cooking water.

Small creatures from the summer garden #6: White-edged grasshopper (Chorthippus albomarginatus)

This is a common grasshopper in Germany and I find them beautiful. With the light brown colour they are nicely camouflaged, but you can also find them with a darker brown, or greenish.
