Took my boy on a mini camping trip. Was our first time to do something like this. Bought some camping gear and loaded up my bike and headed to a small nature campground in the woods 40 km south of where I live [Groningen].
Bought some roadside jam for lunch, and found a place https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunebed to eat it. There was this funky old drifter/homeless/crazy professor, who made this spot his, to guide the visitors. He rambled about what these sites are and that official info was wrong. Cycled on and put up the tent. Played hide and seek with my boy, and soon enough all the other kids played along. The area is real pretty. In the woods they mined for sand for construction I guess. So when the big hole filled up with water there became a nice lake to swim in. It looks like somewhere in Canada. Coming back to the campsite I found out that I bought the wrong gas bottle. So cold hotdogs. Later some friends came, and made a nice evening on the site. Cause off the lack of rain and the heat, we couldn't make an open fire. Promised my boy to sleep under stars, so we did the second night. Pretty brave from little sailor.          |

Ha! Nothing says "summer" like a pair of grubby little puppy feet. Little Sailor looks like he had his fill of fun. Is roadside jam a Dutch thing? I know that excellent cuisine definitely is.  Weird to see yellow parched grass in Holland and the UK. Our drought conditions are currently being drowned in monsoon-like rain. When I went out to feed my fish in the backyard pond this morning, the water levels were so high I felt that they might be able to follow me back into the house... |

You can get all kind off grocery's at the roadside. Hard to believe it's a Dutch thing.
It hasn't rain in a few months around here plus a heatwave didn't do good on the grass, and crops. We had loads of fun I,m sure we go again, better equipped

Roadside groceries are a thing here in the UK too - I always get eggs from them when I see 'em, as they are always far nicer than supermarket eggs. This spring I bought the nicest marmalade I've ever eaten from a roadside honesty box near Hawkshead.

I do like those honesty boxes. Everything’s free 😉
The village near the campsite I’m currently staying at has a book exchange shelf. It’s mostly full of maeve binchy and Linda LaPlante books but it’s rather a nice idea. |

I'll wait for the Canuck bros to correct me but, other than poutine and fruit/veg stands, I don't really recall having ever seen anything like what you Euro bros describe. (Maple syrup -- sugar shack-, roadside or store-bought -- is an evil racket and does not count.)
Some communities do set up "roadside libraries" (replace Maeve Binchy with well-thumbed copies of Don Cherry's hockey reminiscences) but that's as far as our honesty goes. Mind you, I believe some of the rural residents leave their mailboxes and road signage out to be shot at. |
