Travel

I am off on holiday!  We are going to the south of France to visit my husband’s family and will be taking off on our own to spend five days camping in the Pyrenees! This is where we will be camping.  Pretty awesome, right? See you all in two weeks!

A few months ago a friend of mine told me about a spot in Belgium that she thought I’d like, called Hallerbos. It’s a forest just outside Belgium that, for a few weeks every spring, is completely covered in bluebells. She showed me her photos and I immediately wanted to go.

Well, as promised after the Divas Day Out in Den Bosch I finally got around to working on the photos.  I am glad I didn’t bring my good camera, but they didn’t turn out too bad with the point and shoot. There was shopping. Lots and lots of shopping… It started at LUSH where Paule and Penny were quite keen …

At the end of our trip to France last summer, we decided to spend a few days exploring somewhere on our way home.  We knew we wanted to go see someplace nice, and we weren’t sure if we’d find anywhere that quite compared to our trip to the Gorge du Tarn two years before.  I loved that area, especially Castelbouc!  …

While we were in the south of France in the summer we got together with Xander’s brother in Montpellier to see his new house and visit the Mare Nostrum Aquarium.

Like most other things I notice when I go back home, this is something I only appreciated once I was gone.

I still haven’t finished working on my photos from Canada.  I took so many, and I hadn’t even finished working on the ones from France yet either.  I am way behind but I will catch up soon enough.  Here are some I have done already.  I miss the beauty of home… These photos were taken one afternoon while my parents …

No, even though it may seem like it, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  I’ve just been laying low and getting back into the swing of things after returning to the Netherlands.  I’ve not been feeling particularly bloggy and I figured I’d wait until I did rather than trying to force it. Anyhow, this is about …

This is my husband. Do you see the smile on his face?  Well, I can’t take credit for that one.  Jenny made a leg of lamb and he went into total Neanderthal mode.  He picked that piece of meat up and gnawed on it like his life depended on it. It gave me hope that this might mean that one …

After a few days hanging out at Xander’s dad and Jenny’s place we decided that we should get out and do at least a little exploring.  Usually when we are going somewhere I will scour the internet to find places I want to visit but this trip was mostly about spending time with family so I didn’t make any other …

As you can see, I’m back posting on my blog again.  I’ve been back from France for a little over a week and am just settling back in and getting used to life here in Rotterdam again. Our holiday was fantastic and I will soon be bombarding you with photos of some of the things I’ve seen as well as …
