昨晩はとても大荒れの天気だったので桜もすっかり散ってしまったのではと心配しましたがまだまだ元気でした。
It was so rough last night that I was worried that the cherry blossoms would have fallen completely, but I was still fine.
"A strandkorb (from German, meaning: beach basket; Danish: strandkurv; English: hooded beach chair) is a special hooded windbreak seating furniture used at vacation and seaside resorts, constructed from wicker, wood panels and canvas, usually seating up to two persons, with reclining backrests. It was designed to provide comfort seating and shelter from wind, rain, sand gusts and sunburn on beach seafront resorts frequented by tourists. Other built-in details, like extendable footrests, sun awning, side folding tables and storage space, provide the user with several comforts.
Strandkorbs are found at nearly all beach seafront resorts of the North Sea and Baltic Sea in Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, as well as other beach seafronts where sudden fluctuations in adverse weather conditions and wind gusts can prevail. The "strandkorb" beach-chair is considered a cult object of German Gemütlichkeit, which has survived two world wars, social and industrial revolutions and the East-West divide of Germany. From spring to autumn, they can usually be rented from beach-chair wardens (German Strandkorbwärtern). Two different shapes can be distinguished, the straight angular North Sea variety and the round rolling Baltic Sea variety."

Castle Gardens
Arcen Castle is a double moated stately country house in the Dutch village of Arcen, which is located in the municipality of Venlo (Limburg).
The current castle stands on the site of a destroyed predecessor (the Nije Huys) and was built in 1653 by Marcelis van Gelder, lord of Arcen. His grandson Adolf built the main building in the early 18th century. The castle is constructed of brick with the exception of the frame of the main entrance, which consists of natural stone. The main building was originally a French design of two projecting wings, but the north side was demolished after a fire in the 19th century.
The current castle is in a good condition, and it is part of the Castle Gardens of Arcen.
