Today my friends Penny, Paule and I went for a girl’s day out in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch, as most people call it).  It was cold and rainy but we made the best of it and shopped, ate and just enjoyed each other’s company. Much like our visit to Bergen op Zoom we had a lot of fun browsing through …

Today the sky looked so beautiful as the sun was going down.  After a few months of mainly wet and grey weather it really warms the cockles of my heart to see the sun.  It was shining bright all day today, even though it was bitterly cold outside. Well, cold by Dutch standards, it was just below zero, which would …

This morning Xander and I went for a nice long walk with the dogs, for a little photosynthesis, as he called it. He grabbed the dogs, I grabbed my camera and off we went.

Yesterday me and two of my oldest and dearest friends here in the Netherlands met up in Bergen op Zoom for a girl’s day out. A very much needed girl’s day out too, for all of us.

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 …

You …

Tonight when I was getting ready to make dinner I saw a beautiful amber colored glow in our dining room.  I looked out to see what was happening outside and saw the sun setting behind our building.  I know when I start seeing the lovely gold and purple sunsets that spring is well on it’s way.  I ran to get …

This is the totally wonky snowman that we made together with a few of our neighbours this afternoon.  There was more laughing and throwing of snow than there was actual building, but he’s unique and we love him.  The people in our building so rarely socialize, it was nice to just be outside chatting and laughing together. As usual, I …

Today I am in the best mood.  I’m not sure why, considering I was dragged out of a dead sleep by the cramps from hell… which ordinarily would leave me in a positively foul mood, but I won’t question it! It’s a dark, grey, rainy and dreary day today in the Netherlands and instead of feeling sad and blue I …
