Back to beach life

Here is simply a collection of pictures from the beach today. Now the spring is really warming up the weather and waking up the people - including me! Sorry about the quiet week here in the blog. I have been thinking to make some changes to my blog, to make it more reader friendly, better organised, more regular&beautiful. That would mean also more short posts with photos and of course the weekly "normal" posts with more text, information and personal thoughts. 

I hope you had a nice weekend! I really enjoyed the beach today. They are building now all the beach clubs for the summer season. We went to Bloemendaal near Haarlem and the contrast was already huge compared to our winter visit. I prefer going to the beach in the morning time when it is still peaceful. 

Building a beach club for the summer season. This happens every spring time and in the autumn the houses will be taken away for the windy, stormy and cold winter period. But there is always one or two restaurants open all year round.

Everything is ready for the customers to enjoy!

A fresh mint tea is a popular drink in Holland. Just some fresh mint in the hot water and some honey if you like. 

Having a lunch at the beach on Sunday is always good. Food tastes better outdoors. I am a big fan of picnics and grilling. Finally we can do this again.

An option is to buy something fish related from the kiosk.

The landscape of mussels.

The children find always something interesting to bring home like this poor dead, sun dried crab.

Let's also remember to keep the beach clean. I saw some volunteers picking up the garbage and there was a a big basket at the beach to remind visitors to collect the garbage when they leave. 

Wishing you a good start for the next week, Erja
