Ou yearly Cousin Day (all female cousins on my mother's side) took place yesterday. We cousins take turns in hosting & planning the event and yesterday it was Tine & Corine's turn.

About 10.30 am we were expected at Tine's home where we had coffee and homebaked apple pie. Next, we prepared the dishes we had planned to make with the ingredients we brought along. This was a lot of fun as not all of us had done groceries and we were strangers in Tine's kitchen. We were all helping each other out in a very relaxed manner, meanwhile chatting away like there was no tomorrow.

When all the food was ready we packed it unto our bicycles and rode to the nearby recreation area 'Vlietland' for a long picknick. Vlietland has lots of little beaches, meadows and waters and we looked for a quite spot in the sun. After the small heatwave of yesterday temperatures dropped about 15 degrees to a more normal temperature with a chilly wind.

Back at Tine's home Heleen prepared dessert: a very colourful raspberrry trifle. She told us that she had to go to four different shops in the heat yesterday to find a certain ingredient. Thank you Heleen, it was well worth your trouble!
