It's spring in Wellington and the tulips are in flower and a riot of color at the Botanical Gardens.
Number 67:
A taste of Dutch Culture, Wellington Botanical Gardens.
It feels surreal at times that Fred, born in Amsterdam, our daughter born in Johannesburg and now a grandson born in Wellington, share this Dutch heritage and the spring celebrations at the gardens were hosted with all things Dutch. The organ player cranking out tunes, traditional costumes, a miniature windmill and the aroma of chips with mayonnaise, 'poffertjes' baking and coffee.
We enjoyed at all!

Fred and Shawni sharing their Dutch culture with little James. He was more excited with the duck in the pond though! |
