After several tacky souvenir purchases we picked up some kroquettes and went to see Mum's Tante Diene (check this spelling). Mum and Lydia went to see the graves of her Oma and Opa Middeldorp and Ali Middeldorp as they were just around the corner from Deine's appartment. Mom said it was very special to be there just on twilight and someone had lit candles around the cemetery that made it quite serene. Tante Diene was delightful, and she welcomed us into her home even though she had no idea who we were. We enjoyed looking through some old family photos and postcards and talking to Tante Diene as we scoffed our kroquettes. Then it was time to go out for dinner.

The restaurant Lydia and Leonie chose was erg gezellig (check this spelling, I may need you to edit this for me Leonie), and we really enjoyed our meal together. The atmosphere in the square in Delft was lovely, people everywhere sitting at tables and eating and drinking in such a civilised way, it was "so nice". After dinner we just had to stop for apple tart and mint tea on our way home. We crawled into bed around 1 am after an absolutely magic day.
