We have had fantastic weather for our entire stay, with blue, sunny skies. There’s been a breeze, but it’s remained pleasant.
Best of all we got to spend an afternoon with our son. We’re hugely proud of the man he’s become and are quite sure that his time spent over here will have helped him grow as a person. The world is most definitely his oyster and we can’t wait to see where the next stage of his life journey will take him.
There’s been one negative so I’ll get that out of the way and then end on more positives!!
The negative? The flight. As we were beginning our descent into Schipol, my ears started to scream. The pain in my ears and across my forehead was excruciating. In fairness I’ve had persistent sinus problems over the past few months and hubby experienced much the same thing. Maybe we’ve just been unfortunate, but I’m dreading the flight home and we’ve both discussed some trepidation at future travel involving flights of more than an hour. We’re booked for a short break in Barcelona later in the year and are already considering if we should cancel in favour of something closer (but hopefully still with a bit of sun!)
Finally, ending with positivity as always…… I set myself a challenge to see 3 things during our trip -
1. Tulip fields
Yes, it was from a train, but none the less, TICK!!
2. A windmill
Yes, again it’s from a train and I very nearly missed it, but TICK!!
3. A little mouse with clogs on
The mouse hid before I got the photo, and we moved the clogs off the stair, but I swear he was there going klip klippity klop just seconds before this photo was snapped!!
Homeward bound now. Leaving sun for rain, but still smiling at the memories of a weekend well spent.
