Tulips..Tulips... everywhere!

This week I took the kids to the Tesselaar Tulip Festival in Silvan. It was such a lovely day and being 'kids day' they got a free potted plant to take home. They also did a gnome hunt and joined in numerous other entertainment.

Having lived in Holland for 15 months I always love these festivals .... mainly to get my dose of Poffertjes and croquettes!

I especially loved watching all the children run through the fields of tulips! Such a gorgeous site and the colour combinations are extraordinary. I particularly liked the dark purple tulips as they looked almost black. There was this one white tulip growing in the middle of them which was a contrast!



Here is my little garden gnome going for a wander (with half eaten croquette in hand!)
