Have you all had a lovely Christmas? Still bloated from all that rich food?
We are in the Netherlands at the moment, celebrating the season with my elderly mother. (92 and very with-it)
My DH cooked a Turkey (overnight) for us and our Dutch friends, with all the
Yesterday (Monday), everything is going fairly normal again after all the festivities. Shops are open again etc. DH and I went to town (Rotterdam). It is my home town, but because I have been living abroad for so long, some of the newer sights I had never seen. We went to see the new market hall.
The walls have large photos of exotic fruit on them.
The market has deli type stalls, with lots of yummy stuff.
Outside he Market Hall we saw the famous cube houses. They date from 1982, so I do remember them. I wanted to show my DH.
I wish all of you a very happy New Year.
See you next week... perhaps... I don't know if I will be able to write my blog next week. We will be in Denmark and I have no idea if I can borrow someone's computer. (I have a tablet but it is sooo difficult to do it on there!).
Blessings,
Lisca

Glad you are having fun in Holland. Rotterdam is a lovely town, I know the cube houses but have never seen that great new building. And the coffee in Holland is always soooo good. Enjoy Denmark, too, Happy T day and a happy 2016, hugs, Valerie
WOW, Lisca. That mall is really unique. I was amazed and impressed. I love architecture and that building really impressed me. I've seen photos of the cube houses before, but I can't remember where. I was impressed with those, too. What really impressed me was in the outdoor scenes, there were NO automobiles.
Your DH looks like he was having fun with the turkey. Sounds like the UK and the US have that in common for Christmas.
Have fun in Denmark, and I hope you get some photos, even if you aren't able to post them.
I've never heard of Holland coffee, but I'm always game for trying any coffee that has caffeine in it. Thanks for sharing it and your trip to Rotterdam with us for T this Tuesday. And have an absolutely lovely and safe New Year's Eve and Day. Here's to an artful and drink filled 2016.
thanks so much for the glimpse into your hometown. I do love to travel-even if it's only virtually! Glad you're enjoying your time away. Wishing you safe travels, along with a happy T day and a very happy New Year!
What a lovely place you were born!So beautiful!Hope Denmark could be as magical as Holland!Happy New Year, my friend!
I'd love to visit there some time. I've heard from several folks that its a must see place.
Happy T day and Happy New Year!
