deliplein rotterdam

Rotterdam - 23rd of November

Last Saturday we had a drink in De Volkskeuken of Verhalenhuis Belvédère at the corner of the Deliplein in Katendrecht, hotspot of Rotterdam. We loved the place! Open kitchen in an old-fashioned cafe, racks packed with plates, stunning stained glass windows in the staircase. Authentic, simple, real and pure and a super relaxed atmosphere. People from Rotterdam prepare their favorite dishes and at the same time share their stories with the public.

Today we visited the book launch at the Walhalla theater.
Dorine de Vos, illustrated this wonderful children's picture book.

It's called; "Miss van Zanten and the seven robbers" and is written by Mathilde Stein. A funny story and there is much to see. You have to read it at least several times to see all details.

Tonight I read Pippa in the garden (that was long ago!) and we have both enjoyed it so much.

Long before I was a mother I had an addiction regarding children's books.
(with growing children that reduces)

Fortunately today we had a good reason to add this 'educational' and colorful picture book to the collection. Signed most delicious by the illustrator herself!
