Edam, no cheese

Today we headed north to Edam. We got lost several times. Honestly, 2 geographers in the car, SatNav and Google maps, what a pair!

Anyhoo,.got there in pouring rain. Found the chocolate shop and bought treats for later. Had a nice lunch of dark bread an old Gouda and 2 cups of coffee. Good coffee at last. Then a wee wander. We found an amazing flower and plant shop. It was so beautiful and sparkly we could have spent a fortune on lovely and unusual ceramic pots. Instead, I bought E a sweet iridescent hydrangea candle holder and she bought me a pomegranate one. Birthday gift swap!

We then headed home, picked up vlai... At last! For tea with the girls. However trains are.up the spout so will see them tomorrow instead. Took dogs for a walk in the woods in the dark in the rain. Paths! No wet feet thankfully.

Time for prosecco snacks Nd a very long chat of sad, mad and hilarious times. Plus amazing samosas. I can't believe the tasty food here.Read more
