Lovely day in Utrecht:
- Visit to the stunning Rietveld Schröderhuis, with sliding walls to turn a three-bed semi into a party venue.

Lovely day. Utrecht is stunning!
Digging up an old tour thread; we took the car to Germany for Easter, and came back via Hoek. It was obviously a shame to drive through all lovely cycling country with my bike on the back of the car, but needs must. However, at one point we got a bit lost on the motorway system round Utrecht and, while driving down a section, thought the view to my right was strangely familiar. At that point, I thought I spotted the Rietveld Schröderhuis (although obviously couldn't remember its name), a very interesting house with moveable walls built by an architect to annoy the hell out of his family, that @theclaud and I visited, and which I remembered had been unfortunately blighted by having a motorway built right next to it. I've just checked on the map, and indeed it was it. It gave me a pleasant reminder of the tour and a lazy day in Utrecht!
Digging up an old Tour thread yet again (The Fridays Tours never die, they just sit in our memories.....)
Today from the Mr & Mrs Mmmmartin lovenest in Bruges we pottered out en velo to Damme for a bit an airing after A Splendid Lunch.
We popped in to the little pancake house where back in September 2015 The Fridays stopped for an early breakfast after a night in Bruges. The lady in charge came out to our table and I said: "I know we can speak in English because I was here with my cycling club a few years ago." Her reply was: "Are you Martin?"
The Fridays: once met, never forgotten.
