Building the contemporary circus festival 'Circolo'.
Four days in! Nice workout in a great atmosphere... and SUN (some days).

And then there was my birthday!!!
Two lovely pies, baked by my mum and sister in law. I even got to blow out candles. I decided it was the perfect day to wear my brand new second-hand kids department sweater!!! Age is a number showing how many years you've yet spend on this beautiful planet... not a number telling you what to wear or how to behave! 🤪🥳
Back to the Dutch trails for a while!! Until the next bigger trip..

After all the mud, dirt and stress we've put our bikes through in Georgia and Armenia, they really deserve a lovely warm and soapy bath!
So grateful for these sturdy steeds! @santosbikesnl
