July 28, 2024,Rondje met Tommy

Daughter Anouk's waters break and while the contractions seem to be slowly starting, Tommy is allowed to stay with us. He doesn't realize yet that he is getting a sister. Let's hope it turns out to be a healthy Sunday child. Today's trip along the edges of the water-rich Zoetermeer was fantastic again.

Another gray day today, so let's take a tour with some views!

Today we took a tour around the Zoetermeerse Plas-AA Noord.

Lots of water birds, beautiful views around the lake and a fresh breeze.

Nice walk, also nice in the summer ☀️.

🥾🦆🎣🌊🌬️🫶🏻😄.

For some variation, we will take a brisk walk around the Zoetermeerse lake early this morning. Irene sets a good pace and when daughter Anouk calls, Irene melts away when grandson Tommy says DAY GRANDMA and fortunately the punishing pace of 7.8 km per hour drops slightly. All in all, another nice variation.😀😀

So after a few weeks we walked again. Clear your head in an intense period. And also income again to walk the Pieterpad for three days at the end of March. Unfortunately only but it is no different. Today's walk coupled with a visit to my mother.
