It has been a shockingly long while since we've posted anything here.
Christmas is almost upon us and it has been fun to watch the small Kerstmarkts and Olliebollen stands pop up everywhere along with portable ice skating rinks and lots of festive lights and decorations.
While I was out and about the other day I found myself confused and uncomprehending in a situation that my limited Dutch would normally have sufficed. Far from being a bad thing, it caused a LIGHT BULB moment.
Somewhere in the past four months I've moved from being shocked and surprised when my limited Dutch actually worked to being shocked and surprised when my limited Dutch didn't work.
That's progress folks!
Here are some Christmas photos for you...
