Sunny days at the coast

 The autumn break we began last Saturday has been unexpectedly sunny. The weather forecasts didn't predict this kind of weather but we don't complain!

With this sunny weather you can do almost everything. My sister has been freshening up the facade of our rooftop flat - a job she started in summer but had to stop because of too much wind. Now it's almost windless and she can paint and repair. 

Each afternoon we go for a walk. Along the beach (where you don't have to wear a mask), along the promenade, in the park, through the dunes, ... Most shops and restaurants/cafés are closed because of the lockdown, but those who are real entrepreneurs have found a way of selling their goods. Here you can buy coffee, tea and hot chocolate, there you have warm waffles or ice-cream. We found a new place where the waffles are the best we ever had!

So we are  having a quite enjoyable holiday here at the coast. And we're not alone! More people than ever have come to the coast to enjoy the nice weather. Although in Heist it's still not too busy and still safe enough when you go walking. Everyone wears a mask and keeps distance. 

Tomorrow we're going to enjoy a take-away dinner. We've ordered fresh seafood and that will be a feast - a nice conclusion of our week here. On Monday we go home once more.
