Bargain hunting in Zeeland

I was in Zeeland last weekend hoping for a repeat of last year's sun and sea holiday. Alas it turned into a wind and rain vacation with occasional dry patches.

Still it was nice to be away in 'the nature' and away from my laptop and the internet for four days



We schleped around Middleburg on the Saturday afternoon - joining all the other damp and disappointed tourists, though I imagine the shop keepers were delighted. At Lucas's suggestion we went into a brocante, where I found these two wonderful bargains - an African mask (more than one metre high) and a woven basket (using three different types of twig / straw). I am sure I paid less for the mask than it would have cost me to freight it back from Africa and the basket is so unique I'm surely going to find a use for it.



And Lucas found an armful of Donald Duck magazines for a couple of Euros to keep him happy!
