Dear You,
because of the heat I went quite early in the morning -- come to think of it: not THAT early, it's holiday time -- to the wilder part of the dunes here in Noordwijk - and again the mysterious thing happened:
one is almost alone.
Of course even then I remain on the paths that are allowed to be walked on.
Sometimes the sand is thick - that's why today I had a big blister on my right foot: a little grain of sand had dropped into my shoe...
So this morning for the first time in my life I walked on flip-flops into the village (I bought the second pair in my whole life here to use it - sometimes - on the strand, when the seashells are too pricky and cut into my feet).
The chemist's offered "Two for one"-packs of blister-protecting plaster, which I bought - hoping that I will not need all of them - because tomorrow we will visit Delft!
(And you will not see me with flip-flops there!)
I walked along a little wood with many pineapples on the ground,
saw seabuckthorne that (sadly) no-one will gather to make syrup from
(I think I can't 😊)
Well, I love the sight of it, and that is that.
I wish you a beautiful day - and share with you what I just found out (and maybe million of Chinese before me) that helps me when I am tired at the end of the day because of the heat:
I drink a cup of hot green tea (which I normally do not like very much - I'm a fan of fine Drajeeling or honest red British brick-brew that you call "English Breakfast Tea", with milk and sugar ).
Yours Truly,
Britta
PS: Can anybody tell me how I can watch "preview" on the new blogger? I tick on it - it says: preview will be prepared - and then: nothing happens.
I have never worn flip flops. I click on preview on the right and it happens. But then I find it difficult to get out of it so I have stopped using it. You have chosen a good time to be staying by the sea Britta. xx
ReplyDeleteYes Rachel, the time is good - especially as we get a bit of a breeze.
DeleteFlip-flops are for me too a no-no - but with a blister...walking...
I tried that on preview too, nothing happens, so I stop that too. xx
That house is lovely. It has intriguing form.
ReplyDeleteYes, Joanne - I love houses with little turrets, or a bay window.
DeleteWalking early in the morning among the dunes sounds outstanding. The sea air is refreshing. The sights and sounds of the sea are always enjoyable. I hope your foot heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan - I hope that too - let a lot of air on the big blister...
DeleteAnd might walk barefoot next time - along the sea.
Beautiful scenery. I enjoyed the walk. The house is gorgeous. I love a house with character.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed you coming with me, dear Emma! That house is so beautiful, with the thatched roof, and a gorgeous sight of the sea - no houses inbetween!
DeleteI don't understand why preview is not working for you when you click on it - I think blogger must be having an off day as is often the case these days. Tomorrow it will most likely work.
ReplyDeleteThe buckthorn has its orange berries very early, and I know that there are companies here that make all kinds of things from the berries. Enjoy your day in Delft.
Dear Rosemary, I do understand the "preview-problem" neither - maybe I'll ask Blogspot.
DeleteI love all kinds of thing one can prepare from buckthorn (they do it especially at the German part of the Baltic Sea).
Delft was marvellous , thank you!
