Who's Awake

Afternoon all :)

Yet another glorious day here - believe it or not, it's warm enough to be sleeveless! Trying to think of every excuse to be outside but most of what needs doing is indoors. Might just get a chair out and do some reading... erm... planning! ;) I sprayed the Wet and Forget on the mucky patio yesterday... they say to leave it to do its thing, so I'm trying to avoid the temptation to give it a good scrub. I can see a bit of a difference already. If my neighbour hadn't confiscated all my means of climbing, I'd spray the roof of the van too but I just can't reach.

ah, there you are.........thought you were in tulip country.........??????????
 
Hmm just spotted date........OUT OF DATE...........
Yes, I am indeed here in tulip land and having a ball. We're all at a campsite near Noordwijk. The weather's been kind - chilly but mostly lovely sunshine - and we've been enjoying bike rides and the flower festival with lots of stunning flower floats. The smell of the hyacinths when you're out and about is amazing. Today we went to the seaside at Noordwijk op Zee. Kuekenhof tomorrow to tiptoe through the tulips. Here's a taste of the flower procession floats...

Green with envy.
A beautiful part of the country on a lovely spring day,
Cake and cream would be nice too,:giggle:
 
When you come into Eyemouth trixie it’s opposite the co-op store and they do a good selection of coffee’s as well no we’re not in the van we’ve had this caravan booked for a little while as we’re still on babysitting duties! Hopefully we’ll be going away in the van for about 3 and a half weeks later on, Sue they do the most delicious cakes and all homemade! We’ve known the couple for a number of years and they can’t do enough for you plus they don’t rush you out the door either.
