With a heavy heart, he says goodbye to L�neburg, his girlfriend Tutu, and the kindergarten, in which he had been so happy.Many new adventures and problems await him in Berlin, but he would not be Brummi if he did not learn how to cope with them.

This book tells the true experiences of a retired couple who spend most of their retirement in Spain for the sun and the mild climate. This includes the building of their dream home. Despite all the difficulties, it is the greatest adventure of their lives. After more than a year of construction, they move into their 'casa'. They make a checklist of repairs and improvements. Yes, German attention to detail does sometimes get in the way. They move into two further building phases and quickly learn to deal with craftsmen. But coping with the local authorities almost brings them to despair. Finally, they are forced to survive an armed robbery. Read this book and learn how and whether they managed it. Similarities with people, names and locations are purely coincidental and unintentional. This book was written to show people in the prime of life, that it is possible to handle and master new tasks even beyond 60. You need only a partner who pulls in the same direction, courage, the will, the stamina, the money and a sense of adventure. At least that is the opinion of Dorothee and Alexander.

At 68, Dorothee Sargon had a daydream which inspired her to begin writing her special story. For her, life was exciting, full of adventure, often stressful and she was often faced with new challenges. She learned to excel in many professions, including those usually associated with men. In this intriguing story, both funny and sad, Dorothee recounts experiences from her private and professional life showing how she carved her successful path through life. The word 'surrender' is not in her vocabulary, so she has continued on her way, even if sometimes the road seemed rocky and hopeless. Dorothee has worked as a Management Apprentice, Shorthand Typist and Clerk; Au Pair in America; Administrator, Secretary and Personal Assistant. She has managed and run a bicycle shop and a newsagents; has worked as a self-employed Beautician; and a Specialist Teacher for Sports Massage; and, together with her husband and also alone, she has owned and run a petrol station. And, as well as undertaking many full-time jobs, she has managed to cope with all that life has thrown at her as a little girl during and after the war, a young woman growing up, a wife, a mother and a grandmother. Looking back, she says: "For me, one life is not enough".
