Belated birthday party Patrick

Although Patrick's birthday is at the beginning of december together with Sinterklaas we only celebrated it at the end of March.
Patrick had the choice between going to a Hall and do two kinds of sports like badminton, tennis or soccer. Or he could choose swimming
He chose swimming with his friends.
Henny had to deal with all the kids on his own.


The only stress part for me( Henny) was getting all the kids their own locker, finding enough change without loosing the 8 keys . .

But after that all went well without any problems. There were enough activities and the food was good. They had fun and before your know it the party was over.

New Castle and Durham re-visited

As promised my friend Ron and I went again by mini cruise from IJmuiden to NewCastle. But this time we had the de-luxe tour.
Which meant: a much bigger cabin, breakfast buffet twice, a filled mini bar and a much better bed.

The visit to Durham (by train) was great. A nice small town where you could easily walk everything: a beautiful huge cathedral , a castle being used by a university: they said that their dining hall had been an example for the dining hall of the Harry Potter's movies.

Here are the photos: but be warned: Ron got crazy shooting photos of the sunset and other unusual items.
