Ta-Ta is in Dutchland

Ta-Ta has gone to Dutchland until the end of October. Ke-Ke is here and is looking after us well but I miss Ta-Ta. She is going to send me some photos to look at and I can choose which ones to go on to MY blog. Ta-Ta says the weather is just like England except that it is Dutch. Wind is called wind, sun is called zonne and rain is called regen. She says it is winding, zonneing and regening but not all at the same time. Ta-Ta speaks Dutchish and says that cat is kat and dog is hond and that guinepig is marmotje. Where she is staying there are no animals (dieren) but she has managed to entice birds into the garden with cooked rice and pasta. She doesn't think the neighbours like birds (vogels) because they poop on their clean washing. Sounds a bit boring to me. Ta-Ta says the kids play klote pokke verdorrie football in the street which sounds an interesting game. She has seen some cats (katten - now if the plural of kat is katten why isn't the plural of vogel vogelen) in the neighbourhood and some dogs (honden).
