We’re getting ready to go off on holiday for a few weeks, visiting family in the Netherlands and also spending some time in Ypres, Belgium. The scenery is going to be very flat in the Netherlands anyway, we’ve not been to Belgium before.
I’m scheduling some posts and I hope to be able to get online and do some blogging too, but if there are any comments it might take me a bit longer than usual to reply.
Last week we went on a walk in a new direction, around some farmland. There’s a crop coing up in that field despite the fact that massive boulders have just been left strewn around, seems strange to me that they don’t clear them away.
It’s just as well we have plenty of conifers around as the deciduous trees haven’t even got a hint of green about them.
It has been such a late spring this year and we’ve had sleet and snow showers over the last couple of days and biting Arctic winds. It’s as if the Snow Queen doesn’t want to give in to spring.
Being a resident of Florida and wishing to live with more seasonal change, I have to admit being a tad jealous of your continuing cold weather. Thanks for the views of the farmland around you, and I look forward to seeing your views of the Netherlands and Belgium!

Paula,
We could definitely have done without the hail, sleet and snow that hit us on the road down south yesterday. I wouldn’t like to live in a country that didn’t have a good variety of weather though. I just get fed up when it doesn’t warm up when it should!
Have a wonderful trip, Katrina!
Judith,
Thanks, the Belgian part might be a bit of a tear jerker but very interesting I’m sure.
Pretty! That green is so bright!
Stefanie,
It’s not half as green as it will be in a few weeks!
