What a winner!

Miss 10 arrived home from school last Thursday to an envelope from a print media competition page she regularly enters. It appears our budding artiste had again won a competition which gave her adult passes to Tesselaars Tulip Festival
As kids are free anyway plus she received a bonus of a free pot of tulips card too. We often attend this magical and wondrous place each spring and having a freebie was icing o the cake. It's a lovely drive and they have days dedicated to many nationalities including their own as well as three children's days with special activities for the children. The masses of flowers and the amount of work put into not only the farm but the retail operation and then to run this festival is awe inspiring. The place is a family home and each generation has built on the land or adjoining tracts, it's a family and community business and many new hybrids are named after employees and family members
