The Netherlands Tile Museum A trip to Roosendaal

No, that's no Lens Error on my digital camera today! That seems to be ok now. Just have to make sure that there's not a lot of dust, sand and dirt around the lens when it's closed. Dropped in at the Kringloop today on the way back from the allotment. Never have seen a lamp like this! And that is where it stayed!

Some plants made it through the long white winter while others did not.

Planted 2 new Rheum palmatum Tanguticum

Brought out an old cookbook this morning! Found a recipe to use cornmeal!

Stopped in at Hoogvliet in Soest last week to grocery shop...

A great way to test a recipe and test my camera !

and thanks to camerarepair.blogspot via Google, it works!
