The annual fundraiser at the Prins Willem Alexander Retirement Village was a wonderful success today, if you can judge it by how hard it was to find a parking space for the car. I finally found a spot approximately one kilometre on from the village, and was pleased that I had decided to wear comfortable shoes for the walk back.

Perfect weather, a festive atmosphere and great Dutch cruisine and coffee, cakes and drinks made for a great day.

However, the highlight was two performances by local girl, Mirusia, Andre Rieu’s “Angel of Australia”. She entertained us with several songs and showed what a charming person she is, as well as being a very talented one.
