Hello Maria

Does the file name under your photos mean 'snowdrop' in Bulgarian?

Welcome Maria and welcome Vivien.   :D

Hi Vivien

I couldn't sleep so thought I would doing a little research....

I think the Bulgarian for snowdrop may be кокиче - I think Изображ is short for изображение - which means image/picture.

Time for a hot drink and back to bed!

Of course, everyone gets up at 3 am to research Bulgarian on the web, don't they?

And I thought I was up late last night!

How did you manage to get the Cyrillic font - I couldn't see a way of doing it? I am trying to learn Russian - mainly to keep my few brain cells going.

I am going to give a little talk and display on my few snowdrops this afternoon (the ladies at church were desperate for a speaker and I foolishly volunteered). I don't know how the professionals do it - my brain is exhausted from getting everything prepared and I haven't even delivered it yet.

For those who happened to be in Belgium this weekend, you can always come too to the Zaanse schans, the whole weekend from 10 am till 5 pm and free entry. Besides the snowdrops and other spring flowering plants a beautiful sight of our country.
And not to be forgotten you will have the chance to meet Luit van Delft ;D ;D

See you there,

Two private posters asked about the Hallelujah Chorus. I don't think it can compete with the hatted giraffe, but you might enjoy pasting this Youtube clip into your browser:
