Off for the weekend
Coin-operated observation binocular on the Afsluitdijk (21 km dam), Netherlands. It’s my birthday tomorrow, and I’m taking the day off :-) Hope you all have a great weekend!
I think it’s time for a bicycle post, don’t you?
In Amsterdam last week. You can click on the thumbnails for a bigger view.
In The Hague: “The Fred” Shopping Street
After a morning of “official paperwork”, Roxi and I rode our bikes out to the Frederik Hendriklaan shopping street. Affectionately known as “de Fred” by locals, it’s a interesting collection of boutiques, cafes, and food shops. For us, it was just another excuse to get on our bikes and explore more of The Hague–and to enjoy [...]
Long, lazy summer days
Amsterdam. What a great week! This was the first time in years that we’ve taken some time off just to relax at home. No bags to pack, no rushing around, just two short road trips… The weather was lousy for the most part, however. I’d like to think that was the Universe telling us to [...]
Taking a break
Buskers in Den Haag’s Centrum back in June. They were very good! Although we’re not going away for a holiday, we will be out and about next week. So, I think I’ll just take the week off and see you back here soon!
Plan B it is then
The glass roof of the Passage, The Hague’s first covered shopping center. It was built in the late 1800s and is still a very beautiful building. I love that tower in the background too. Well, we had a few last minute offers to take Trudy during our holiday, but they were a little too late [...]
No room at the doggy inn?
Trudy on the Noordzee. We’ve hit a little glitch on our summer vacation plans. The hotels are reserved and our car is serviced, but we cannot seem to find a kennel or pet sitter for Trudy! Every place I’ve tried is fully booked. What in the world? Apparently, people make reservations months (sometimes six months) [...]
Now that’s what I call a sandcastle!
We spent the rainy weekend mostly indoors. It was probably for the best as we really needed to sit down and plan our upcoming holiday. We’re leaving on Friday! Nothing like waiting until the last minute ;-) Anyway, I’ve got a bit of a back log of photos from here and there, so to continue [...]
View from Roxi’s Balcony
Roxi, being the smart girl she is, picked for her bedroom the biggest, most awesome room. It’s on the third floor, faces the back, and has a deep balcony that runs length of the short side of our house, about 25′, I think. One wall of her room is made up of glass–a combination of windows [...]
Our Move from England to Den Haag
I am finally getting around to catching up from the last month! Here are a few pics from our move… Our small and quirky rental. This was our second house in England, our third address. Kind of strange architecture, huh? The front door is on the left side of the house. The house itself looks [...]
