And the latest episode of Silence, ça Pousse! They are in French Guyana, visiting tropical gardens and discovering all sorts of plants and learning about the country and its customs and people.
Really bad weather forecast for today here in The Netherlands, with gale-force winds, brrr. I hope the garden will survive.
