Sandra, you were here?! And at all of my favourite places too ;-)

I am wondering if we should try to do a blog meet up one of these days… I wonder how many NL bloggers there are who would be willing to meet up in A’dam or somewhere like that. Hmmmm.

Thank you so much for the lovely awards you’ve nominated me for! I am so honoured that you picked me {blush!}

I wish I could invite you over for a lovely slice of cake :-)

I still play a little too. I had a few years of lessons but I’m not nearly as good as Roxi. Still, I enjoy playing every now and then.

Barbara, the piano arrived on time! Roxi was so happy about.

I bet your Mum and her friends were so happy when you went to play for them. I know I love it when Roxi plays for us. I will miss it when she goes on to Uni (in THREE years, LOL).

Libby, if I went to the bakker every day I would be in TROUBLE! So glad to meet you, by the way.

Julia, I have actually been very good about not visiting the local bakery, chocolate shop or cheese store. Actually, I just don’t let myself go to the neighbourhood shops very often!! I have very little will power when it comes to those places :-)

I just love Den Haag! I was there last week to go to several places.
Do you know International Health Center? I prefer to go there than to a normal gezondheidcentrum.

I like the Passage, Mautitshuis, Ridderzaal, to go to Yves Rocher and the American Book Center, to eat in a gezzelig terras… Af en toe ga ik naar Den Haag…:-)

My Dear Japra,

I have another award for you. It was giving me by Isabella and you are one of my nominees. There is a challege…I hope you enjoy it!

Have a nice week!

ps: I must take notes of your patisserie tips in Den Haag! mhmhm

Forgot to say that I still tinkle the keys now and again ! ( And sing if there’s no one around ) Also could just go a piece of that Mochachino

Happy Birthday to Roxie ! Hope the present arrived it time and she has hours of fun and enjoyment with it
.My mum paid for piano lessons for me as a child. I didn’t play for years-but you never forget and when I retired I bought a Technics keyboard. My Mum was in a rest home by then and I used to take the keyboard and entertain the residents !
