    Hello Mariette and Pieter, I hope you both have a very happy Easter holiday. It looks like spring has finally arrived in your neck of the woods! Over here, the jump in weather has been from cold and rainy to a baking 35C and tropical.

      Dearest Jim,
      Thank you and yes, we did have a lovely Easter weekend so far with sunny weather. Hope yours was lovely too.
      You bet, we have spring in full swing but not quite 35° but only 31°C for a couple of days this week...,
      It goes fast into hot and humid but I love it far more than dreary dark days in winter with cold.
      Kindest regards,
      Mariette

      Beste Marianne,
      Jazeker die grappige Paashaasjes heb ik weer een dag laten rond trappen op hun fietsjes! Zo geinig zijn die. Dit jaar leverden de bloemetjes genoeg op voor twee hartjes waarvan dit er een is. Wij hadden ook een heel fijne en zonnige Paaszondag! Fijn dat het bij jullie ook mooi was.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

      Oops, for sure you meant to wish me a sunny Easter but I've seen the snow in your area; making it look like Christmas instead. Unreal...

    Lieve Mariette,

    Jullie hebben vast ook een mooi Paasweekeind achter de rug en wat een prachtig hart van viooltjes.
    Je zal toch wel zo slim geweest zijn om de steeltjes aan bloemetjes te laten zitten;-)dan staan ze nou vast binnen in een van je mooie vaasjes.

    Hier eens geen paasbrunch maar we namen de kinders mee uit eten bij de Japanner,lekker en gezellige avond.


    Lieve groet,Ger

      Lieve Ger,
      Dank je en ja wij hebben een heel mooi Paasweekeind achter de rug. Wat de viooltjes betreft, ik had ze met lange steeltjes geplukt maar het ging mis met neerleggen, dus heb ik die steeltjes eraf moeten halen... Maar de foto blijft dus hebben we er toch wat van over; twee harten had ik gemaakt!
      Ja, jullie keuze voor Japans eten was zeker een hele lekkere; ik geniet tenminste heel erg van hun keuken.
      Liefs,
      Mariette
