Another day by the sea.

We had fish last night but it is Fried fish Mr L had fried fish and french fries, so I had paprika grilled shrimps and then we had a walk in the village.
This sculpture is made with a root
This is the place to eat fish direct from the fishmonger 
You order and you sit in the veranda and wait until it’s cooked.
Today, we went shopping for our friends and family before the tourists arrive for the weekend ( there are a lot of outlets close to here. Sometimes you drive in Belgium 🇧🇪 and then back to Netherlands 🇳🇱 !
 
Then we visited a tiny village, the very big church dates back to the 15 th Century.



I love this little house and would love to live there!

Look at the size of people! You have an idea how tall it is.
We went inside but they were doing the cleaning so we didn’t stay.
All in bricks. 🧱 

We went back to the hotel before going back to walk by the sea and have our lunch on the beach restaurant.
The weather is still gray, but the temperature begins to go up!
Thank you for coming ! Have a nice day.

What to do on a rainy day?


Today, the day started with rain! 

We had our breakfast and then we took the car to visit a few places in the country. Then we had lunch with a croque monsieur and salad. As we were in town we visited some shops and went walking along the canal and went to the hotel swimming pool and had a rest.


The pumpkins 🎃 are in front of a house I am used to go, you choose the pumpkin you want and pay in the box.



Along the canal is a nice place to walk, I love it!



This house is on sale it’s a nice and quiet place.

Last night we went to our favourite restaurant to have our grilled fish dish for two. The kitchen at the back.

Ham and sausages hanging from the  cieling 
I had my non alcohol cocktail 
 And we shared 5 different fishes 🐠 and scampi 🍤 
It was delicious !😋 
Now we are having a rest reading before going back to walk on the beach.
Thank you for coming !

Nice to be outside!

The boat crossing to the peninsula 



 Hello Friends!

After a very windy night, followed by a very windy day! 😂! I think all of us had a rough night except Mr L!
We were few people for breakfast at 9 very unusual… the first picture is the breakfast buffet where we can make our pan cakes with a special machine, enjoy all the local goodies!
Then we left for Breskens where there is a ferry that goes on the peninsula to Vlissingen between Escaut river and North Sea. ( 1rst picture) and walked a lot in the wind by the sea!
Our room. I chose a room with no balcony this time because they are the only ones with AC. Last year it was 30C outside and we have been too hot.🥵 
In most hotels we went there was a bathtub in the room and separate walk in shower and washbasin.
We have got seaweeds and sea salt for us to take a bath!
This hotel  has a swimming pool pool, sauna and a spa.  

I could reserved a parking place for disabled all along our stay which is very convenient for me. I use my rolling walker (and now got my  rolling walker driving licence! 😂) I walk twice faster and for the moment it is helping a lot until I get better. We walk 5 or 6 kms everyday but it is difficult when facing the wind 💨 !!






We had our lunch outside on the beach.


And tonight we made a reservation to our favourite restaurant and will have a big dish of fresh different fish to share.
Have a nice day  and thank you for coming !

Cheese shop
Hello Friends!
This seagull picture was last night before the big storm!
The wind has been and still is blowing but chasing the rainy clouds for the moment.
It was a morning in town doing our autumn shopping.
Raincoats, shoes… and very soft pyjamas for our two little boys they like them so much!
Then we went to see the wind mill and buy honey from the farm and flour from the windmill.
You just help yourself and pay in the box. Before we leave I will go and get vegetables from the farm.


This is a place we like to go we have even spent a Christmas Day lunch there once.

This was this morning in town. I will take more pictures tomorrow as we are going to have supper there.
We are now reading and then go for a walk expecting not to vanish with the wind!💨 
Thank you for coming!
