In our summer newsletter I wrote about Holland and what the country looks like. As you will remember, the main difference with Ireland is that Holland has no mountains or hills and more water than Ireland. And a lot of people.
Holland is also well known for many things:
-
The Dutch Masters: Painters like Rembrandt, Vermeer, France Seals and Jan Stern.
-
Dutch Clogs: Wooden Shoes
-
Tulips from Amsterdam
-
Rotterdam port
-
Gouda cheese
-
Edam cheese
-
Dutch cigars
-
Delft : Blue coloured porcelain (such as cups and saucers)
-
Philips TV’s and electronics
-
Canals and ice-skating
-
DAF lorries
-
Dutch chocolate
-
Douwe Egberts coffee and tea
-
Dutch shipbuilding (Verolme shipbuilders were located in Cork)
-
Dutch bicycles
-
Dutch courage (You get it in a bottle)
Now I have three lines, and I want you to fill in the blanks yourselves. You may need to ask for help, as the answers are not in the newsletter.
