And took a walk in the area of the Noord Aa. The weather was good, partly cloudy, occasionally sunny and cold after a night of frost.

The rain we had last few hours and the rain that was expected had made us decide to skip the unpaved paths.
A few drops, but mostly a nice walk.
Lunch at 't Geertje.
Lots of farm paths among the sheep, cows, and goats.
A great way to spend a Saturday!
