Hi Lisa, thank you. I missed that. I will update it.

Edit: I've updated it.

The displays were just… wow!"

We did. The sheer variety of tulips were just mindblowing. I saw around 10 different tulips with red and yellow colouring and they were somehow differentiated with different names. It's just amazing.

@Nanci @Elinor, that's funny because I just visited Keukenhof on 27 April with my guests.

I will be checking in more frequently from now onwards as some of my guests have left.

@Keli, I'm so sorry to hear that. Welcome to the team. Let's have fun.

Thanks Suzanne. It's pretty fun but we are out most of the day. I don't have time to check GR as much as I want to.

I don't even have UNO excuse. I have company till end of the week and I'm just trying to survive till then.

I DID miss it - and it's right at the top of this page! Sorry Vi!"

No problem. I should have made it clearer.

Wow, the thread exploded. Nice to meet everyone. I'm sure we will have a great time together. I looked at the mini challenges and wow, they sure are interesting. And I realized I was on Team Moonstone, 2nd round of TT. It was 8 years back and I was pregnant with my first so I don't remember much of it. I blame my pregnancy brain. lol.

@Elinor, padel tennis is getting popular in Netherlands (hi neighbour!) and I'm very intrigued by it. I should give it a go.

@Kerri, we have a small plot in front of our house and we do almost the same. Cucumbers, tomato, brinjals last year. They came out good. This year will experiment again with something new. I did pumpkin last year but it died because of slugs. I will try it again this year.

Hi everyone. I am Vi, currently living in Netherlands so a little ahead of some of you time zone wise. This is my second TT. I was one of the co-captains in TT2. I think we won that round. I had loads of fun that time and played around with Spreadsheet tracking everything.

I have two kids a 9 year old and a 4 year old. Now that my youngest has started school, I have more free time until I land a job(which seems very hard right now). If I’m not doing household or chauffeur stuffs, I’m either reading, cycling or studying.

It’s so great to meet you all. You all have diverse hobbies! I will link my shelf once I can use my laptop. It’s not possible from the app.

Sorry, Tea. I just started my new job so sadly it also cuts into my GR time.

Sorry I've been MIA. Interviews were taking up all my time that I couldn't log in to GR at all. Good news is I finally got a job!! So happy. I'm going to catch up with my reading this week as I'm really falling behind them.

Also, a heads-up. I'm shifting house next week so expect another dip in online & reading time. I hate shifting :(

I haven't managed to read anything else that will count for the challenge. I have been reading manga for the most part since I'm in that mood. Too bad they don't count for this challenge.

Tea, thanks for pointing that out. I've added them to my shelf.
