While most people were busy searching chocolate eggs or eating real ones
this weekend, we went for a short nature tour in the north of the
Netherlands. The provinces north of Amsterdam: Friesland and Groningen
are lovely places to get in touch with nature, bike, hike, meet some
happy sheep and other wildlife. Lauwersmeer, a national park, builds a
partial border between the two provinces.
The Easter Sunday started with brunch at the beautiful Theefabriek, the
only teamuseum (and tearoom) located in the old church-building of the
cozy village Houwerzijl. I have reported about this great place 3 years
ago here. After being spoiled there with delicious teas and food, the
adventurous visitors (as us) went to Kollumerwaard and met the nature
guide Klaas. He took us for a 7-km-walk in the National Park area and
explained us patienly and lovingly about the birds, plants, trees, toads
and other living beings we encountered on our way. Herewith a big
Bedankt (thanks) to the singing birds, colourful butterflies and Klaas
for the knowledge!

Lekker (!?) en héél mooi, Jana !
Nog een maandagavond op z'n 'Paasbest' !
Lie(f)s.
A nature tour and a tearoom, a delightful way to spend a weekend. Our Miss E returned for college/uni break and brought a small box of a new delicious tea as her gift to us. She has discovered many new things in Sydney, far for our country town.
Ooh I would love to visit here. I love all those teapots. I can remember when we were small children and Sunday afternoon Mom would serve "tea" in the nice teapot with the ladies of the church. She would love to shop through these teapots. I love the butterfly at the end, having never seen on of this magnificent colour. Lovely post Jana
Nature trip, always refreshing and recharging to do. Beautiful images. :)
