North of Amsterdam

The last weekend in July is festive because French friends come spend a few days in Amsterdam. We meet with another friend, expatriée press Francaise de Oosterparkbuurt for a barbecue height (balcony on the fifth floor!), picnic in the park the next day and a second barbecue with leftovers, mémorable : imagine a balcony barely 2m ², among the typical Amsterdam and in the pouring rain began to fall just buildings when our breath was finally stir its embers (private joke ! 😉 ) ! A tarp held after four arm (clothespins did not permit the exchange upwind !) and an umbrella in one hand the third thief who, in a growing darkness and smoke to cry, tente de déterminer s’il faut ou non tourner les côtelettes sur le grill !
Juillet se termine donc sur une franche rigolade et un bon repas après s’être séchés et changés !

  1. Merci pour ce nouveau partage. Désolé pour le délai pour laisser un commentaire ..depuis Juillet ça fait long 😉
    J’aime beaucoup la citation, les photos, et vos aventures .. damage with the remaining arm you free you are not able to capture the scene BBQ..
  2. Robert and I have stayed in Amsterdam it's nice everywhere flowers located. I really enjoyed myself pedaling all day in the city to the sea and the sea to the hotel ! We had many chances to have the sun for 4 days.
    Kisses
  3. ben ah indeed I think you have the palm of the most picturesque BBQ. I think the only thing that can match it is the family reunion we had in south, in April, where a guy had come for a barbecue… and had more like it may rain in Provence : Verry much !
  4. Well apart from both the barbecue, we had very good weather. Finally it is not rain all the time there ! But a little almost every day and several times a day… This does not prevent the sun to show daily also ! After winter comes when the clouds are very present, without necessarily come rain…
  5. The rain is always annoying when you expected something on the coals ! That day, the rain has obviously stopped once we had finished all cook !
  6. Hello ! Autumn is here for a few days, clouds above the biggest are strange but impressive, le vent aussi presque violent a balayé et chassé tout le linge propre et le parasol du balcon ! Le soleil est moins brûlant que les derniers mois, la pluie a été coléreuse mais brèvec’est bien l’automne, c’est son caractère !

    Kisses

  7. Oh la belle private joke anachronique ! :p
    That said, un BBQ sous la pluie, nous en avons quelques photos également qui remontent à l’époque du Cannet (sur lesquelles je suis tombée il n’y a pas longtemps). Avec toutes les inondations que l’on a connues, vous n’en êtes plus à une tempête près 😉
    Bon en tous cas, sympa l’article, mais quelque peu frustrantwat ? Ik wil nederlands spreken ! ^^
