Magnolia time

The magnolia tree in the garden in The Netherlands is so full of buds and they are almost open. I have no idea if I'll be over there at the height of the tree in bloom so decided to Blip a couple of buds now and who knows, maybe I can show the whole tree in bloom next week or the week after.

We saw son no 1's team win their home game today and left for Belgium after that.

Thanks for your comments on yesterday's Blip, son no 2 studied Computer Game Technology in Dundee and has a BSc in that,has been applying for jobs all over Europe to no avail, the Masters at Breda University of Applied Sciences is much more industry oriented, so hopefully this will help him find a job afterwards. A plus is that it's an international study being done in English even though the uni is in The Netherlands, so much easier for him as his English is probably better than his Dutch.
