Sometimes people say or write to me that the weather here is always the same. Apparently, it's rainy again in the Netherlands and reminiscing about the sunny beaches here is of course a great escape.
Well, you know we get some rain to once in a while. And when it's raining, it doesn't rain the whole day. It's just about 10 minutes, maybe half an hour. But in that short time a whole lot of water falls out of the sky. 
Traffic jams, flooded streets, getting late at work are often the result of these showers, which we actually have quite often lately. But that is also fun! My car gets cleaned, so I don't have to wash all the salt & sand of myself. Which is realy nice.It's also a great excuse for indoor activities: YEH, cinema time! By the way, go see Letters to Juliet. It's a beautiful movie. Of course it was filmed in Italy so I might be just a little prejudiced. 
And then, since this if of course a Dutch country, we have Dutch stores with Dutch food. So on a rainy day, it's wonderful to eat something like 'erwtensoup'. It does taste a little different though. Maybe because although it's raining, it's not cold.
