Winter.

As a matter of fact we haven’t had any snow this year yet. It is getting colder but it hasn’t been freezing much either. So far a mild Autumn.

I love snow photo’s so I looked through my files and found these photo’s from two years ago, made in December in a little park not so far from our home.

My grandchildren do hope for a white Christmas. That doesn’t happen very often in this country.

Autumn.

It is autumn here. Falling leaves everywhere. Not my favorite time of year but thank goodness it is not really cold yet.

Also a busy time . Getting ready for the holidays, keeping up with the wishlists of the family and trying to get it all done in time. At least I can try . lol.

Can you see this this country has lots of bicycles. We all have at least one so that will be about 17 million, wow.

Great Dixter.

While looking through my albums I found these photo’s from Great Dixter, former family home and garden of gardening writer Christopher Lloyd for over 40 years ,in east Sussex England. We were there a few years ago in mid summer as you can see by all the flowers in full bloom. I chose a lot of red for this collage because there were so much of it in those gardens at that time.

It is so wonderful to look back and remember all that beauty.

Florida , one year later.

Due to circumstances we don’t get around much lately so I thought I’l show some photo’s from exactly a year ago. We were in south Florida and the Keys and we had such a wonderful time.

So here they are.

Clouds over Miami Beach.

Good Fences.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

Silvercity Schoonhoven.

A few days ago we visited a lovely little city not far from us called Schoonhoven.

Schoonhoven is renowned for its silver, hence it is nicknamed “Zilverstad” (Silvercity), home of the Dutch Silver museum and the International silver school

We didn’t have enough time

that day so we will be going back soon and visit the silver and clock museum.

Here just a collection of what we saw during our short walk.

This is the medieval townhall with its carillon of 50 bells.

The 17th century ferry gate . The wooden doors are closed when it is high tide.

On my next photo there is a memorial

of the 1953 waterflood storm.. It shows how high the water came here in Schoonhoven. during the biggest nature disaster of all time her in Holland.

Douce France.

Week before last we were going to France for a long weekend. But when we were there my husband got ill and we went home again. So no photographs of lovely little villages I planned to make but just some of the beautiful Bed and Breakfast” Moulin de la Pommeraye” we stayed in and some I made from the car through Belgium and northern France.

The B&B is an old watermill, situated in the village Pommeraye in the Haute Marne ,southern part of the Champagne region. Forests and green hills all around.The river the Marne runs through the garden and the grounds. It is so beautiful there.
