We just bought these and now we were waiting to try out a frame.

Bloodbank
So the examiner drew so much blood for testing that there were tiny droplets all over. She had to clean me up.

Still life with pole
Most of the Reitdiep is either frozen or covered in a lot of snow. On the edges the ice is yellowish.
Snow-plough
Not that it helped much because most of the snow had turned in an icy floor on the underground. And the plough only seemed to make the surface more slippery. Still, a great machine that made a wonderful sound, like singing.

Vinkhuizen
It just started snowing as we rounded off our Christmas afternoon walk. We walked around this field, basically.

The church in Dorkwerd
Coming from the Zijlvesterweg we toured around the little church that we can see from our living-room.

My cellphonecamera becomes slightly shaky at lesser lights.

Looking down
And all the kings horses and all the kings men
and why the sea is boiling hot
and everything is say three times is true

View from the bedroom
Here too, it's good to be back home again when this is the view from the bedroom.

Bicycle gorillas in the mist
The Xmas tree is made out of old lost-and-found bicycles that were never claimed by their owners.

Ferry cross the Channel
With our favourite waiter from Portugal, who explained the differences in coffees between Italy and Portugal for me. "In my country we make very good coffee but we don't make Ferrari's.".
Bom Dia.
Obrigado.
Dover Terminal
A last smoke on British soil for Veet before we departed on our two-hour journey to France. From Dunkirk it is only five hours to home.
I Am Not a BurgerKingburger
I must have had three burgers in my life. From the competitor emcee donald duck. I believe that a well-made burger can be very tasty. Not so these plastic one.
I guess I will have to experiment a bit in the kitchen and then I can come up with a great hamburger.
Buhrgerkihng
Boring place to wait for the boat. Good hot chocolate, though, which we got after some miscommunication due to the big noise in the hall. Looking at Buhrgerkihng while we sat.

Friendly place. Only waiting for Gordon Ramsey to clean it up.
This place had known better times. We didn't want to have a bite at the two other places where coaches stopped for sunday roast. The waitresses were very friendly but we felt it was too crowded.
On the other side of the street was another place which was very quiet. It had obviously known better times but we were served with such great smiles that we didn't mind.
I only hope they get Gordon Ramsey to clean the mess up because I think they're worth it.

Cream in Minehead
Historically, Taunton is part of Minehead already. It was the only thing on my mind when I wandered through Minehead, enjoying the seaview on a quiet, wintery day. And then we were cold and wanted a warm drink. Cream is where we found it.
Soon a grandfather, grandmother (presumably) and their granddaughter sat on this table. The grandfather read the girl from the Three Little Piggies: "So he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and at last he blew the house down, and he ate up the little pig."
And the little girl was so totally into the story that I couldn't refrain from watching them. It was very touching and beautiful.
This place was the best find during our holiday in the neighbourhood of Minehead. I had the best hot chocolate in ages with a delicious piece of cake. Cream!
This is the info I got off the net about them:

View through uneven glass
Here in Croydon Hall, Somerset, life is calm, tranquil, quiet. Only it's just the crust on the magma. Beneath the surface, emotions are boiling hot.
The palmtree next to Croydon Hall
I'm guessing it was planted by the German Count who owned the place until he had to give it up at the start of World War One. Croydon Hall is a building that forces it's occupants to make place for new occupants every once in a while. It's a natural process.
