Winter Wonderland
He ho he ho.....
So the last post was already some time ago, but there has not been any traveling going on lately.....so I am thinking about moving the blog more in the direction of cooking....as I like to cook and do make some nice things frequently....So if you are into nice food and cooking, keep an eye on my blog....
But for now there is a different topic on the agenda....SNOW!! :D Finally after many months, which were too warm, winter seemed to have arrived......We had a few cold days which were crowned and also ended with a nice amount of snow!! I was so happy already when I heard the forecast (which I never trust that much....;)) but this time they were right!! As I had to be in town for an appointment I made use of the opportunity to spend my afternoon in the snow in the park that I used to cross daily on my way from home to university....I also have also seen a number of concert in there, Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Marilyn Manson, Metallica.....etc....Obviously it is one of my favourite parks in my old town and it is by far the biggest too. After missing out on snow last year due to me living in Valencia, I now finally saw snow again. In general in the last decade the days we had snow that actually stayed has been declining. Last year there was a lot of snow though, but of course I missed that one....But today was an excellent day, seeing the landscape all dressed in white, just too beautiful. I enjoyed the people walking in the park, walking their dogs, seeing school classes enjoy building snowmen, sliding off the hills, being re-connected to my old town etc...Always nice to see the influence weather has on people, a true winterday in Holland can have the effect of a perfect summer or spring day, everybody was happy.
After this nice time in the park it was time again to get back home......along the way I enjoyed sliding around with the car, playing a bit with the grip, or the lack of grip, superfun although of course also tricky. The next day there was nothing left anymore of the snow......only nice memories and cool pictures.
Untill next time, perhaps in the kitchen ;)
