In London I met a guy who was born in South Africa, lived in Melbourne and had spent his last 4 years in London. When I told him I was Austrian he told me an amazin story about his grandmother, who now lives in Austria, near Krems an der Donau. His grandparents met during the war and feel in love. His grandfather always wanted to marry his grandmother but she kept saying no. So, after ten years time he went to Austria, met a new girl and asked her to marry him. When his grandmother found out about it she changed her mind and convinced his grandfather to marry her instead. They had children and lived happily in Germany. One day a letter reached them from a lawyer in Austria saying this woman his gandfather had asked to marry him and then rejected had died. It turned out she actually got killed by her relatives, but what they didn’t know was that she had changed her last will. In a letter to his grandfather she wrote that he was the only man she had ever loved and if she can’t have him he should at least get her house when she dies. So, they moved to Austria and his grandmother, now well over 80 still runs the place where there once lived a girl that fell in love so unluckily.
