Weekend.

 

Last week it was our granddaughter Rachel’s birthday. There was a nice party with friends and family. It was a beautiful warm day so we all were in the garden. The kids had a lot of fun in their little boat as you can see on the photo’s here.

Monday, Tuesday.

Today we had our yearly afternoon tea in Madeliefs beautiful garden. We had  a great time with eight bloggers who all live in the neighborhood of Rotterdam. We chatted and laughed a lot and in these three years of blogging  we got to know each other rather well. It was as if we did meet yesterday instead of two years ago.

Thank you Madelief, it was wonderful. You are a beautiful host.

All the food was delicious and made by Madelief and her friend Ilze.

Beautiful isn’t it.

Friday.

 

 

A few weeks ago we visited Volendam and Marken. I have a few more photo’s I want to show here.

The statue is of an old fisherman in Volendam. It sits right at the harbor. People love to sit next to him.

The weather was beautiful with only blue skies.

Alphabe Thursday.

 

Sorry I haven’t been blogging much lately but I have been extremely busy. I hope I did visit all the people who commented on my blog.

Today I join Jenny Matlock and her class. The letter N was to study on.

I made this photo collage with words starting with the letter N.

Words like neighborhood and names and nails.

We are celebrating summer and loving it. So I have some photo’s to show you from our walk in the neighborhood.

Friday.

 

Today was a beautiful summer day. Not too hot, just right to go for a ride in the country.

I made a few photo’s and made a collage with two photo’s from another time.

 

 

such a beautiful summer sky.

 

 

what a lovely cottage with all that green. Had to stop and take a photo.

 

Perfect weather for going sailing.

 

 

A bike as decoration, at least the white one. Love that.

Friday.

And here we are again, hot weather and I mean really hot. Don’t blog much these days but I  still have my London photo’s so I picked some out to show on this post. Hope you don’t get bored.

Fortnum and mason is a beautiful store in London.

That clock is so beautiful and look at those teapots.

Maybe homeless and sleeping in the park?

Beautiful buildings and a lovely blue sky.

Love the name of that little restaurant.

Doesn’t that look pretty?

Another photo of Fortnum and Mason.Such gorgeous cuttings.
