But I am going to catch it on BBC iPlayer for sure. And glad you liked Newcastle and that the weather was nice, I must go there one day too. Think there are some nice lighthouses in that area. And yes - I am a dropjes addict, and you can't get any decent ones in London so I have to import them! :) @Pedro: No I missed Dr. Who! But I am going to catch it on BBC iPlayer for sure.

I had never heard them before :) The croquette: contains things like minced meat (beef), onion, spices, flour, broth and is rolled in egg and encased in breadcrumbs after which it is fried. You can get them in any snackbar in Holland, but the ones my mum makes are the best :) @Eileen: it’s peer blossoms (the apple blossoms weren’t out yet, they are a little later than the peer ones normally in Holland)

What does your mother put in her kroketten, or is that top secret? Here in New England (US), spring peepers -- tiny tree frogs that sound like baby chicks -- offer the surest sign of spring. http://www.maine.gov/dep/blwq/doceducation/jeepers/peepers.wav The picture (apple blossoms?) is wonderful.

As you know: we went to Newcastle by boat. (It rocked a little!) It was a great experience. We’ve been on a boat before, but not on a real sea. Newcastle was great. A city with both the old and the new. It was only for a day, but we’ll go back someday. The temperature was also great: 22?C. I even managed to get a sun burned face. No Easter eggs or bunnies! Even living in London, you’re still the Dutch girl who can enjoys ‘drop’. Once Dutch, always Dutch ! Did you watch Dr. Who whilst in Holland? “So what did you do with Easter?”
