Easter 2012


This year's Easter...

Chocolates from Knusz

a lovely store in Almere Haven, where we went for the first time this year.
These chocolates are absolutely delicious!
I want to come back there, not only to try other ones, but also to enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee. It seems they have a nice selection of them too...

Paastol

the Dutch Easter traditional bread. We bought it in a traditional bakery, also in Almere Haven.

I love to eat a slice of it on Sunday Easter breakfast with a cup of barley coffee.

Portuguese traditions were not forgotten, of course.

to a glass of Port wine with a chocolate ;-)

We usually buy the lamb in a Moroccan butcher in Almere Haven who also has a grocery store. Every time I go there, it seems I am in Portugal. His grocery store is so similar to the Portuguese traditional ones...

Ah! I was very glad to see that this year Blokker's Easter table was set up with the famous Portuguese Vista Alegre's porcelain. Goed zo!! ;-)

Nest is a word that we usually relate to Easter. These photos were taken during our walk yesterday afternoon. We enjoyed it very much, by the way. I'm very glad to live here, surrounded by Nature. :-)

Then it was time to watch some movies.
In this one, we had some glimpses of Amsterdam... ;-)





A cozy and relaxed Easter. Very nice! We needed it!
I hope you have enjoyed a nice Easter too! :-)

Stay well! :-)

Olá Sandra,

a tua Páscoa foi recheada de coisas boas. Que bom!
Por cá também houve muitos doces, até porque no domingo também comemoramos o aniversário da minha mãe. Festa a dobrar!
Também foi nesta breve paragem de Páscoa que visitei Guimarães e tirei as fotografias do post. Obrigada! Que bom que gostaste! A cidade merece ser mostrada :))
Beijinhos e que tenhas uma óptima semana!

Dear Ms. Presépio,
I am writing in reference to the afore shown box of chocolates that was supposed to be delivered last weekend at my address in the city o Zwollywood, to let you know that to this date, I have not yet received it.
Sincerely,
Your charming wife from Zwollywood.
