Last week in Delft a lovely man stopped us and asked if we spoke English. We said yes, but we probably wouldn’t be much use to him as we were visitors. He said no - he just wanted to advise us to walk down this street as there was a good view of the church. So we did and there was. Heart-warming.

Blissful couple of days at Dragonfly Cabin with its natural swimming pond. An oasis of calm.
