Back in the Lowlands!

Wow! Yahoooooo! We are finally back in the land of the low, and of the logic (which we've missed back on the island), and very very nice it is to be here too!

All the nicest things in the world come from the Lowlands....Grolsch, friets met, sate, kroket, pannekoken met spek en stroop, stroopwafels, komijn kaas, gevuldekoek, and echte mostard!!It's only been two days and we've already managed to work our way through the menu of our favourite old time Dutch treats. Thank you for your help with this favourite cousin Fenna!

(wrong coffee - shouldn't really add milk!)

We managed to get out of London last Thursday being a bit delayed by a nasty flu, last minute tax dealings and a table that just wouldn't leave us alone! Thank fully all sorted now and the rest and recreation has seen off the cold, a couple peaceful days in Dongen with Oma sorted that. The tax should be done for the year and the table is now for sale in the fashionable village of Haarlem....

So long for now, it's snowing in the Alps so we're off to Bourg St. Maurice tomorrow.
Dooieeeee!
