Farmers market

This morning we visited a local farmers market and one farmer sold differnt sorts of cauliflowers, the white ones we normally eat, the green ones but today he had purple ones, and they made me think of the purple minions.
I know, sometimes, my brain is taking me on weird thinking paths, so we bought one, the kids looked horrified that I mentioned we would eat it... but we already had great fun with it, taking pictures.

Christmas market in cave

The boyfriend of our au pair visited her this weekend and we thought we would visit an original Christmas market. The one in Valkenburg (there are actually two) are held in the two local man-maded caves.

The temperature inside is always 12 degrees Celsius, so quite nice. And it is a lovely market to visit. One word of advice, come early! As we left the caves, there were no more people allowed to enter until people left, so the amount of people in the caves is regulated. So outside were huge lines with waiting people...

In the above pic you can see that people used to make sculptures in the caves... In the older parts, you can see wonderful sculptures and paintings, you can even find fossils.
