Margaret's Page

by margaretvn - last update: Jan 9, 2009

I have been a bit slow in building this page really, The Netherlands is my second home. I was born in England and moved here in 1980 when I married my Dutch husband. We live not far from Rotterdam and both work in the city.
For several years now we have been exploring The Netherlands in our Smart cabrio. We have now had two Smarts - the first one took us 70,000 kilometres through Europe! easy to park in the little narrow streets of some of the old centres.
winter 2009
We have been lucky enough to have visited a lot of the world together and we are certainly not planning on stopping travelling in the near future..... but we also know that the countryside near home can be lovely as well.
summer and my love of flowers.
So as of the 16th of august 2008 (I have lived longer in The Netherlands than I lived in England - where I was born.

 I remember Madurodam from childhood, when my parents took us children to the Netherlands almost every year

 Hope to be visiting quite a few of the towns you have tips on. Am looking forward to it, especially seeing the fields of Tulips.
