Goodbye Hellas, hello Netherlands (part 7)

At the break of rain and free of garden/animal commitments I grab the chance to visit the local windmill. Yes, that guy pictured above.
From this angle it looks like a cartoon with open arms:

Or is my imagination rather stretched?
In any case that's a rather old thing, dating back in 1852, renovated in 1983. Today it mills flour for the local bakeries but also sells to individuals and if you're lucky to find the guys who run this at a non busy time they'll show you around.
No I do so but only from the outside as I am here at non working hours:

If it was open and running you'd see its blue flag in the above picture. How cool!

It's all Dutch to me:

A few more shots as I try to walk around it:

Apart from the windmill I must say that this neighbourhood is no exception to the cuteness of the whole settlement here.

Have a look:

Hard to miss Green in Netherlands, whether it's on trees or grass:

Even the way out of Heeze is so sweet:

The weather looks rather moody though:

Here's a distant shot of the windmill to have a sense of its size compared to the rest of the buildings around:

On my way I find the cutest gardening of all:

How cool is to wake up daily to that view?

Not so envious though myself as back home I have a generous garden that offers me daily stuff like this,

and as generous chickens providing me eggs for dishes like this:

Bon Appetit!


Sort:  

Perhaps old windmills will come back into fashion with shortage/expense of electricity power. Dutch built windmill we had sadly burnt down a couple of years ago in Cape Town.

Enjoy your trip.

This one was burnt down too a couple of times. Would be fun to see all of the old ones working again. Thank you!

Piece of history, landscape of Netherlands and many other countries. I think the Hollanders being on waterways put them to good use.

That's right.
