He is here! Well, he was anyway. Saint Nicholas arrived last Friday and I had a ringside seat to see him arrive at the school just across from my house. Not on his horse Ozosnel (Osoquick in English, his horse Amerigo retired a few years ago), but on a tractor he drove himself.

There were plenty of children waiting for him and his aide Pete to arrive and load them up with presents, sweets and ginger nuts. Perhaps a word of warning here and there, but on the whole a good thing. About an hour later I heard the tractor start up and they left again, on their way to the next school.

These were taken in order and show me having some trouble getting over the stile, while Brom was cheering me on and holding on for dear life.

On the site in front of the Oldehove in Leeuwarden there used to be a graveyard. These do not represent those graves.

You could take a plane from Amsterdam to Leeuwarden

Instead old advertisements and the like have been etched/stamped into some of them (although most are empty).

Or perhaps you preferred the steamer.

When Queen Wilhelmina ascended the throne (1890 or 1898), this tree was planted and the fence was erected around it. 

When Queen Juliana ascended the throne (1948), this tree was planted and the fence erected around it. Well... fence?

Both in Leeuwarden.
