Grubb gets his herring

Posted on May 2, 2023 by Ella

Post by Ella.

The herring stand we remembered from our last visit to Den Haag at which we got broodjes (herring in a roll with your choice of onions and/or mustard) and a seagull swooped in and nearly got a nip of my herring, was still there. 

Grubb couldn’t resist.

And there was a grey heron waiting for dropped bits.

    That herring looks great. Autocorrect tried to change great to gray, also literally true but not the sentiment I wanted to convey. I’ll let Wynette add her stealing seagull story.

    Yes, A seagull stole a bite out of my Cornish pasty. We were sitting on a bench in St. Ives. Shocking how big and fast he was. It was in my hand. Of course, I threw the rest away.
