lots of family days

The first two weeks of August
were for our family :
away with daughter and the kids !

We stayed in Holland :
so not driving very far
and there are beatiful places in our own country !

The weather was quite good.
We stayed near the holiday cottage
doing our own fun things :





But we also made small trips to fun places :

a fun play park just around the corner


medieval feast


(highly recommended trip to go to with kids ...
ha ! and also fun for the "big ones")


and last but not least to a fruit picking garden.
(a lot went in the bucket .... and a lot in the mouth !)

We went home one day early, because of the heavy rains
that started on Saturday evening ...
(and went on till last night !)

At home the garden gave a sorry sight :
my two big boxwood trees


GRRRRRRR

Today when the weather was dry again I started with the tall one ...

... the sad end of a proud boxwood tree

Tomorrow probably the next one ...
or later when there is room again in the waste container.

  1. Schöne Bilder (zumindest die ersten).Das sieht aus, als ob für alle etwas dabei war. Bei meinen Cousinen am Niederrhein grassiert auch der Buchsbaumzünsler. Es ist schade um so einen schönen großen Baum. Hier verabreden sich seid einer Woche alle Schnecken der Umgebung in unserem Garten. Gar nicht lustig :o(
    Bis bald, Birgit

  2. Schöne Ferienbilder. Wir mussten auch drei sehr große Buchsbäume abschneiden. Sehr schade. Es fehlt was im Garten.
