Holiday projects...

So here we are, on holiday, and it's already so so good. We arrived early, after only an hours drive from the ferry at Rotterdam, so we had the full day ahead of us. I'm rapidly becoming convinced that this is the way to holiday - keep the travel time to a minimum and just arrive and dive right in. 

We have a lovely little house only 5 minutes walk from the beach, and since the weather is still absolutely amazing that's exactly where we've spent the majority of our time so far. The boys have basically turned into fish or something, and since they are all so happy and entertaining themselves (thanks for that also go to D, who's been joining in the play a fair bit) I've even got a bit of knitting time in. 

I followed your advice, by the way (how did you all get so sensible?!) - I've brought my parrot socks as an easy project and have left a couple of the more complex WIPs at home. I've found the address of a cute little yarn shop in Amsterdam so I'm hoping for souvenir yarn to take home. One little indulgence that I've brought is some cotton to knit myself a sun hat. I felt that was somewhat appropriate, considering the temperatures...

It's quite a fun project, actually, and very beach-worthy. 

I'm about 16 rows in now, so it's going well. Perhaps, when we go to Amsterdam, I can source some hat wire to actually finish the hat, but even if I can't I'm fairly sure I'll finish this project before we get back because it's far quicker than I thought.

Other than that we've been doing a lot of eating and lazing around, and cycling - you can't go to the Netherlands and not cycle, after all - and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. Noordwijk is a lovely and very lively place and the weather obviously helps, but I suspect that even if it wasn't this sunny we'd have a great time here.
