In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.

The annual Tesselaar Tulip Festival is here again in Melbourne and after many, many wet weekends, we jumped at the chance when the sun decided to sneak out of its hiatus and took a pleasant drive to Silvan.

And we arrived upon fields of blooming tulips…

Tulip Festivals are being celebrated throughout many cities in the world as tulips are considered a welcome herald of Spring.

Time to don those wooden clogs as the entire tulip farm was transformed into a mini Holland.

And a visit to the festival would not be complete without a jolt of sugar hit at the end of a beautiful day, Dutch pancakes, of course =)
