We escaped from the flat, and Amsterdam, for an afternoon in the woods.

November is the first of the really miserable months in the Netherlands, the very damp cold sets in and darkness descends earlier and earlier each day. 

It suddenly strikes you that this is only the beginning, this is how it will be until next March, April or even May. 

Everyone starts booking their March trips to the Canary Islands.

Time to get outside while you can!
