Tulips

A walk along the beach into the next village for provisions (a newspaper, chocolate digestives...). Even though it's May, there's a biting east wind off the North Sea, but we still find ourselves sitting outside in the pretty gardens of the local hotel having coffee and biscuits (serious long-distance striders-out we are not). The tulips are still in full bloom or just starting to turn, about two weeks behind our own garden down south.
