This and that…

Some of the last flowers in the garden. Today it is cold 13C I put a pullover on this morning and I ordered fuel for the boiler

We will soon need the heater on!

 Hello Friends !

Today, is kennel day! Going to drive an hour to get our dog  Bandit from the kennel.

Bandit is happy to be back home! He doesn’t like to travel in the car but enjoys home.

I did some shopping yesterday and today I will do some cooking and baking.

Mr L had an appointment to the dentist this morning and the tooth infection was due to a broken root he has had a tooth extracted before going to work! He went to get painkillers and I hope he’ll be ok!

I wish you a good day. Thank you for visiting.

Back home 🏠!

Hello Friends!

After 4 hours drive and one stop at the Starbucks on the motorway, we are back home safely. It is best to drive on a Sunday on the European motorway without many lorries on the road.

Now we are resting and watching tv ( the first time for one week!) and drinking a hot drink with a pumpkin biscuit from the Netherlands! Fall is beginning here in the garden.on Tuesday, I’ll go and get Bandit from the kennel.

We have pictures from Bandit everyday and he looks unhappy to be on his own ! But he has vacations with his friends and is at the hotel( for dogs!)🐶 

In the hotel where we stayed dogs were accepted but our Bandit is not enough well educated…

Tomorrow the laundry will have to be done  and some housework! Back to normal life!

I wish you a lovely week!

Thank you for coming.

Our last day in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

( Nice Little diary for my handbag so I can learn the days of the week in Dutch!)

Today, it is raining all day! Fortunately I had looked at the weather forecast yesterday and we had a nice time on the beach.

So after breakfast we went to Oostburg  to look at shop windows and I found this sweater for this winter I like it’s colour ( remind me of Scottish heathers !

We also went to Jumbo a supermarket where we usually do our grocery shopping to bring back home. There Mr L found some interesting magazines for me. ( i don’t read Dutch but like children I look at the pictures! 😂)

I will finish my thriller book this afternoon !

Mr L has already finish his.

 Now we will rest and read until the rain stops a bit 

Pack our suitcases 🧳 until next time!

Thank you for coming!

A busy morning looking for antibiotics!!

Today was rest day ( for walking!) yesterday we have been walking 10 kms but today  6 kms. This morning after breakfast we went to town to do some shopping and to find a chemistry because Mr L has a tooth infection!

We always take prescriptions with us in case, so he made himself a prescription of antibiotics. Where we are staying there is not anymore a chemist, so we had to go in a bigger town further. We thought we could find a chemist shop turned and turned in the town, but in fact the chemistry was in the hospital!

Now he has got his antibiotics until a dentist appointment.

This is what we did all morning!

This afternoon after a quick and light lunch we took our beach chairs and went reading under a blue sky and sun 🌞. Then we went on a beach restaurant and had another salad 🥗. It was very hot today, so now we went back to the hotel read with the AC on!

Tomorrow is our last day and it will be raining. We will go grocery shopping in the morning, some food we don’t find in France. 

I hope you had a beautiful day wherever you live!

Thank you for coming.

 

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 !
