Week 31 

Lucky to have Paul visiting and to have some time off for the boat - the first time since April!

I'm gathering my thoughts early on Sunday morning - Janny and Paul still asleep, Boeke ready for his first walk - after I've had my regular tea and toast. Some routines just remain the same.

We've been able to keep up with the Olympics and the footy - and some reading and walking - a much needed break from the Building Works of the last 9 months! And the grandkids just keep getting older - we celebrated birthdays of an 18 year old and a 26 year old

We went to one of our favourite places  at Boornzwaag after having first tried Joure, which was way too busy for our liking - quite apart from being FULL!

Thursday evening a walk into Langweer to eat and do a little shopping.

So, today we have to plan to be back in Heerenveen in time to pick Ben up from the train station, then probably out for dinner :)

The all-in-one plumber/electrician finished a few things in our absence on Friday, so we can finally begin to move back in...a busy few weeks coming up...







We met up with a sister and brother in law who are holidaying at a nearby campground with their caravan...

Week 50 Of interest Cheryl Christmas 92nd Birthday! Photos   Electric cars Electric cars are no longer cheaper to run than petrol or diesel-fuelled vehicles after the government wound down subsidies and tax breaks designed to encourage drivers to switch. The latest assessment by motoring organisation ANWB finds that electric cars cost almost 76 cents a kilometre to run, taking in the cost of fuel, maintenance, wear on tyres and depreciation. Petrol-powered cars are around 9 cents per kilometre cheaper. The high cost of electric vehicles, which cost €46,000 on average to buy new, has been offset by subsidies and tax benefits, but the new cabinet has watered down previous commitments to stimulate the transition to renewable energy. School Teachers Primary and secondary schools and vocational colleges are struggling with a shortage of 13,000 teachers and the number is expected to remain high for several years, education ministers Eppo Bruins and Mariëlle Paul have warned.

Week 52 End of Year

  Week 52 This is the length of the days at the moment. It's holidays so we are nice and cosy with the fire going - and too much food! It won't be long and the construction sites large and small will be starting again in the new year with the lights on - and the kids will be cycling to school and coming home in the dark. A new (old) house One of Janny's sisters bought an old house - on our favourite Turf Route canal, no less! This first photo is the mooring at Felder's Boskje. We went to the opening of it with Andrew & Terry in about 2009. The house is about 200 metres away. According to Albert (Greethilda's husband) there has been a house here since the 1600's. The current version dates from about 1906 and was nearby a pub, a shop and a shoe maker's residence. The magnificent beech tree is in the front yard. The last residents were a brother and sister who lived there for 80+ years. The property includes a wood/forest area of a few acres - we walked thr...
