Things are going well.  We are very happy and busy, there is lots of work to do around improving Lea's mother house.  It has also been great to unearth the treasures in her garage, her wardrobes and many other places :-)

School started for the girls, they are both very happy with their new teacher and class mates.  There was some nervous tension last Monday when the first day of school came around, but things have calmed down now.   Lea has some pictures, I'll see if I can get her to post them.

I am trying to move over to a shorter blog format in the hope I'll make more posting instead.  Not sure if it is going to work, but it is worth a try.

Short entry #1:

We have often walked past this seemingly unassuming eatery three blocks from our house:

We went there last Thursday and it was spectacular!  Behind a facade and name ("Local") that reveals nothing , hides a beautiful and delicious kitchen and serious wine bar.  We are so happy to have found the equivalent to La Cucina in Ginneken, also around the corner.  Obviously, Local is a bit pricier than La Cucina, as is everything, but we are not complaining...
