Hello from Austria!
Hi 
I thought I'll introduce myself real quick.
I'm Mara (hence the not so creative nickname). I'm a 21 year old Sherlockian from Salzburg (Mozart, Sound of Music & all that), Austria.
I was introduced to Sherlock through The Hobbit/Martin. Since then I've also become a huge Benedict Cumberbatch fan (especially in love with Mr Talbot and Mr Tietjens).
When I'm not watching Sherlock (for the100th time) I read books (in English), watch other movies/series (in English) and plan my next visit to England. I guess that makes me an anglophile. ;) I also enjoy horseback riding, cycling, good/rather unknown music and spending some one-on-one time with my cat Mr. (Fitzwilliam) Darcy.
That's it from me Please ask if there are any open questions. And feel free to correct spelling/grammar mistakes that I might make - I'm here to improve my English ;)

Welcome, Mara, nice to have you here. I love Mr Tietjens and Mr Talbot, too.

Ah, the forum just sighed a collective sigh of contentment and appreciation...

Well, if you're going to be a "-phile", I suppose "anglo" is a good one to be...
...I also enjoy horseback riding...
as does any normal person
...cycling...
kudos
...good/rather unknown music...
isn't most good music rather unknown?
..and spending some one-on-one time with my cat...
well, we can't be on the same page about everything, I suppose... : /

ah, that's better

no need--it's delightful.
Welcome, and enjoy your stay here. I promise not to pick apart further postings. : )

Are You a fan of Jane Austen? I'm curious because of Your cat name.
Cheers from Poland.

Guten tag Mara!
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad...
I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad.
Salzburg was called Kaltzberg for 'The Sound of Music', have you any idea why?

Re: Hello from Austria!
Thank you all & Danke ;)
@Marheri: Indeed I am.
@m0r1arty: I have no idea. I didn't even notice that it was called Kaltzberg. Interesting! I googled around a bit and I think it's actually just the festival that's called Kaltzberg Festival. But I've never heard of it before. Maybe there once was a Kaltzberg Festival that now doesn't exist anymore or it's simply made up. ;)

Re: Hello from Austria!
Oh, I forgot to mention that I've been to Salzburg recently. But only for skiing.

Re: Hello from Austria!
I think it's made up, going from my research. I'm just curious as it's plainly set in Saltzberg. I was wondering if there was some sort of local protest about being associated with the German nationalist party or other cause.
It's just one of those little things which stands out to me which I've never been able to remedy.
Thanks for the reply!
