Dolly arrived in the land of the wandering frogs just before we went on holiday.  After all if you have an artificial lawn then you need an artificial sheep to keep.it under control.  Logical?  Absolutely! 

Meet dolly.

The story of dolly has relevance when you go to the Isle of Texel.  Sheep are a huge part of the Islands economy and in some instances really are the emperor’s new clothes,  I present to you the woolspa.  Being wrapped in sheep’s wool and plonked in a manger for 60  minutes.  With “proven” healing properties.  WTF..   obviously this grey haired frog is a cynic.

That said Texel has a lot going for it.  Nice cycling, well if you ignore the stupid Dutch cyclists on electric bikes with zero spatial awareness riding three abreast.  I’m not sure I get electric bikes, slow and heavy and really not as nice as Marvin the Paranoid Mercian.

That said Texel is a lovely Island, with haute cuisine.

So here they are the wonderful organic Texel sheep the way nature intended.

Public transport Texel style.  This reminded Mr frog of his many trips to India.  Then he realised that these were fake tuktuks.  Piaggio far too bling new and shiny to compete with the real thing.  Although Mr Bond once had a nice tuktuk as a company car.  But I think that one had a little assistance from Q branch

Is this the Q branch option?

I see ships in the harbour

And last but not least proof we really are in the land of the deep fat fryer, sorry the Netherlands,  a windmill.
