.......time in the Netherlands. We've been extremely busy finishing our appointments business wise and to see many friends and relatives. Good to be back now to spare liver and kidneys.

..........the Big Party last tuesday night, ease is coming back to the villages. Consider that people are on holiday here to party for one week or two. We, inhabitants of this beautiful place have to party the whole season!
