... round the swimming pool. If only it had not been so cold... but at least, the sun was shining for us.
... running into a point, which we wondered about for a while. Perhaps to enable her to go backward, if necessary, in icy conditions. And how about those bits jutting out from her stern? To push the ice floes away from her hull?
She was bunkering at the time, and by the time we returned here in the afternoon, those "bits" were sitting flat in the water, the ship having become heavier.

Dutch bulbfields
The area around Lisse, Hillegom and Noordwijkerhout is a mecca for lovers of bulb fields. This so-called bulb region is located just behind the dunes and it is wonderful to stay.
Another area in the region where you find many bulb fields is the West Friesland region. The area lies between Hoorn, Enkhuizen and Medemblik.
Crocusses as far as the eye can see. Bulb season is here!

Can you spot the stray daffodil?
Dutch bulbfields -
The word tulip, first mentioned in western Europe in or around 1554 and seemingly derived from the "Turkish Letters" of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, first appeared in English as tulipa or tulipant, entering the language by way of French: tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend ("muslin" or "gauze"), and may be ultimately derived from the Persian: دلبند delband ("Turban"), this name being applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban. This may have been due to a translation error in early times, when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.
