Legs

Everything started with a joke made by my medical doctor: “You know what is common to a smoker and the Müllertal (touristic region in Luxembourg)? Be(e)fort.”

Befort is a small town with a nice castle and a famous liquor made from blackcurrant.

Beefort means “Leg gone” (amputeted).

Inspired by an old postcard saying “Best greetings from the Müllertal” I changed to “Best greetings from smoker valley”. Writing in Sütterlin handwriting.
