Terschelling, August '14

Looking back at our few days on the Isle Terschelling.

A lot of rain in the rest of Holland... wer were very lucky with the weather (and everything else really).

Ahhmmm a looonsome runner..

Autumn at Castle St. Gerlach

A few days at St. Gerlach Castle, during a beautiful, sunny autumn.

THE SEASON'S ORGANIC VEG. PATCH.

This is where we were staying! I love the extra window, painted on the wall  (behind it was our (very spacious) bathroom)).

Sunny Setting.

Last week's view from my lovely home.
And as the sun sets (and smiles) over Amsterdam, so it sets over this blog.

Being busy with the business, a new website (which might include a 'professional' blog) and actually making/marketing jewellery, are the reasons for this "blog-slumber".
I'm hoping, the next phase will be a wonderful experience.

Thank you, to all who have, faithfully, followed this blog.
I'll give details of my website, as soon as it's ready and 'keep you posted' !

Double 'Pounder'

The sound of a piledriver causing its familiar, rhythmic sound of...Thud, Thud....Thud, Thud...  has suddenly gone up a beat. Two of them are now taking turns in 'pounding' huge piles into the ground.
Good to see that, despite the crisis, this work is still under construction! (tram depot area, mentioned before)

Mallorca Wild Life!

On our way to the airport, we stopped by Marja and Michel to admire their beautiful home and stayed for dinner which we enjoyed outside, on their patio, in the sun. While picking some fresh mint from their vegetable patch we found a small snake, who was enjoying his own dinner....a Gekko. CREEPY!

Mallorcaaaaaah

In desperate need of some 'aaaaaahhhh-exhale-in-the-sun-time' we were able to rent Casita 'Sal de Mar' in Port de Soller, Mallorca. It belongs to a group of friends and it's absolutely lovely. Newly renovated and open to holiday people since last month. For their website, click on: SAL DE MAR
The view from one of our 3 balconies:

It's a great place to go for long (mountain)-walks and end up having a yummy lunch in spectacular surroundings.

Restaurant Nautilus and Cala Deia

Fresh fish, brought in by the fishing boats and 'transported' to restaurants on wooden carts (right under our noses!) A baby shark (in the harbour), discarded by the fishermen.
