Frank and Wilco went to Islay
In November Frank and Wilco went to Scotland for a short vacation.
Frank had his 51st birthday on November 25th and Wilco his 49th on November 28th, so together they are now 100 years! To celebrate this they planned a trip to the island Islay, as they both like the malt whisky's from Islay.
It started not very well, as the KLM had cancelled their flight to Glasgow and forgot to tell them. So they were way to early on Schiphol for the next flight was in the afternoon. Their first day should have been spend in Glasgow, but instead was mostly spend on the airport. They were on time in Glasgow to catch the flight to Islay.
The first distillery they visited was Laphroaig, both Frank and Wilco own for life a square foot of land there and planted their flag!
In two days Frank and Wilco saw all Islay distilleries and visited a few of them, sadly they had to leave Islay and went back to Glasgow.
One night in Glasgow and some time for sightseeing and shopping!
And then back home, Chimay, Ari and I were very happy when Frank returned!
Many thanks to Wilco for the pictures.

beautiful Islay
a picture of Frank and a beautiful sunset
an other attraction of Islay is the very old (800 AD) Keltic Kildaton Cross next to the roofless remains of a church from the same time
the last distillery visited was Bruichladdich, our late blue smooth Chow Chow Gladdich was named after this place.
no Gladdich, but a street named Sraid A' Chladaich and an old synagogue

walking the dogs in the snow
Yesterday we went to the Zuigerplaswood. We can let Chimay off leash there.
It is hard to catch in a picture, the parts of the lake where is no snow light up in an azure color, like a glacier or the Mediterranean Sea on a sunny day.
View over the frozen lake
Ari in the snow
sniffing around, Chimay in front, Ari follows
Chimay looks so red againt the snow!
playtime!
Frank
Ari is a bit tired, but we are nearly back at the car

January 2012
I can't believe we are almost at the end of January 2012 and I haven't posted this year yet!
Chimay and Ari are doing great together, they play nearly every day together in the garden.
Ari tired after playing
Last week Frank and Chimay went away for a week to a holliday-parc in Limburg. Marcel, a friend of ours, came here to paint all wood downstairs (doors, window frames). When Marcel painted outside last year, Frank got sick from the smell of the paint, so we thought it would be better if he was not around when Marcel painted ;-)
The result is great, instead of a somewhat depressing beige shade, it all is now light green.
The entrance
The hall has new wallpaper and we pimped the radiators of the central heating, a blue cover in the hall
Our little angel watches over us, for more than 30 years.
A dark pink cover in the kitchen.
And the first snowdrops are nearly blooming.
