Little free libraries

I spotted not one but two little free libraries at the corner of Campinge and Lottinglaan.

Orange

With the UEFA European Football Championship coming near, supermarkets

have all kinds of campaign activities. The add on this bus stop tells that

you can save for a fluorescent orange ‘fluorange’ outfit, as orange is

our national colour! (photo 21May21)

 the right is major road N386 with a bike path next to it. (photo 14May21)

This weathered sticker on a lamp post advertises for mill museum 'De Wachter'.

Due to covid it has been closed for some time now, let's hope it will be

allowed to re-open again someday this year. (photo 14May21)

The temporary restaurant will be located here during the tourist season, serving a

powdered sugar and butter. With our current Covid rules it is allowed

to be open between noon and 6 pm. (photo 5May21)

Following the Remembrance of the Dead yesterday, May 5 is Liberation Day in

the Netherlands. Each year on this day we celebrate the end of the occupation 

by Nazi Germany during WW2.

Remembrance day

In Dutch it is known as dotterbloem. (photo 14Apr21)

On May 4 we remember all Dutch victims -civilians and soldiers- who have been

killed or murdered in the Kingdom of the Netherlands or anywhere in the world

in war situations or during peace-keeping operations since the outbreak of WW2.
