In Holland visiting my son and family. Can't believe how tall the people are here. Even most of the women are six feet.Things are more expensive here, but the folks are so friendly. There's no language barrier either because everyone can talk English, probably because being an international language English gets taught at school. I can't help but notice how flat the country is, enabling cycling easier. Everybody rides bikes here and when you go to town there are bikes parked everywhere. Could do with a few people in UK cycling, only if we had the cycle tracks though, then it might take a few cars off the road to stop traffic jams. Another thing I notice, there's loads of small canals everywhere, might be to create flood overflows with most of Holland being under sea level. Not done much writing since I've been here, but read a great book called THE BOOK THIEF.
