After a day in the sunny gardens, it's time to spend a quieter day in Michael's town (he'll be your tour guide for this post!)

The Westcountry (Westland) is right under Delft and home to many greenhouses. If you peak inside them you will see a variety of growing tomatoes, blooming chrysanthemums or even pointy red roses. Luckily you can even go inside a greenhouse because my uncles own one (and I made a promotional video for them):


Many gardeners currently suffer under the corona crisis. Two advantages of that are that you can now buy flowers for a very cheap price at every corner, and you can enjoy this wonderful video that urges people to #buyflowersnottoiletpaper (not made by me): 



After a long day of sightseeing, it is time to meet my family and get ready for diner. Special guests deserve a special meal: gourmetten!
