BYE BYE PRETTY TOWN

Nice reflection in the harbour of the white buildings.
We started our travel to The Hague in the morning.
We had chosen the traject with only four trains. The journey however was not really shorter than in the past. Our connection in Duisburg gave us more than an hour respite. Thus we walked to the park not far from the station. I had been there often enough, alone and with Piet Hein and Mischa. The trees had gotten signs on their stem, and proudly their name was written on these.
We ate our sandwiches, and drank applejuice.
Yesterday it had been such a warm day, but this morning it had been cold again. Only when we had arrived at Utrecht the weather looked so much better. The clouds gone and a bright sun shone over the polders.
Mischa welcomed us heartely when we stepped inside, at last now we could hold each other and kiss.
At the balcony we drank tea in the last bits of sunshine. She had bought a new relaxing chair, made of bamboo, very pretty.
Prepared a meal for us and now she is gone to her dancing class.
I post my picture, feel much at home already......
Tomorrow I will catch up again. The evening I will rest of the long travel day.

My haiku:

Even when our hearts
Stay close the distance must be
Conquered all the time

And the quote by Pearl S. Buck in To My Daughters, With Love (1967):

Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together.
