Postcard from Holland
While in Holland in August we spent a lovely day with my cousin Nella and Daniel, her other half. They are not too far from Rockanje beach, so that is where we headed for the afternoon.
For some reason living abroad makes you more patriotic. Ask anyone who is living in a ‘guest country’! Well, to express this newfound patriotism I decided to write ‘Holland’ in the sand and take a picture of the sea and sky behind it. So I hurriedly scratched the word into the sand and took my picture. Easy!
Paul and Daniel decided they could do a bigger and better job, so wrote ‘Holland’ in massive letters. I watched with amusement as I saw their fatal mistake. They were too close to the sea and before they had finished the ‘D’, the tide came in to reclaim the sand. Amateurs!
