There's No Place Like Home

Hello everyone! I am back to my home in Germany. We arrived in our place after our drive home from the Netherlands. We passed by my friend as I brought her frozen fish from my sis which was caught by some Filipino fishermen seamen and mangoes as well as corn on the cob which I bought from the popular Black Market in the Netherlands.
There was a heavy rain as we passed Utrecht on our way to Germany. I thought it was only there because passing Arnheim, there was no more rain. When we arrived home, I noticed that some of my plants in the balcony were shattered on the ground. So the strong wind and rain was also in our city.
I have a lot to do today. Plenty of laundry to be washed, cleaning the balcony and more. Back to my routine life which I love, too.
My photo was taken yesterday at the Schwarze Markt/ Black Market in the Netherlands.
Have a nice start of the week. May your week be blessed. Thanks for reading.

that's really nice to know that you drove from Netherlands to your hometown in Germany without much hassle. It's not that easy in Asian countries as you need passport, special permission and also face hostile surrounding.

I agree with you. There is no hassle for us to travel in our neighboring countries. We just bring our IDs to show if ever there is a control on the borders. Thank you @jayanth_77

Yes, it is me with the mask @DianneN. The Netherlands is not so strict with wearing masks compared to Germany. I only saw a few people wearing masks in the Netherlands.
They only practice social distancing. Only a few shops obliged clients to wear masks before entering their shops. My sister and I always wear mask when entering the shops.
Thank you. Have a good week, too.

@thelme55 I wear a mask wherever we go, if we're in a public place.

Me too but every now and then I have to break from the routine at home. I had a nice vacation with my sister. We had not seen her for half a year because of the virus. I am the one with the mask. Thank you @kobesbuddy

You are so right....Nothing like sweet home.
Though we always wish to take a break from daily routine life, we always love to come back to it after some time of staying away.
I hope most of the plants were safe. It breaks my heart when something damages my pots and plants.
