M is for molen and morgen

Molen is windmill, of which there are many here. The Netherlands is covered with windmills, or the old and new varieties. Some are for power production – as the country is so flat this is an ideal place to have them. But traditionally they were used to pump water. You’d have two or three in a row by a dyke to keep the water out of the fields.

Morgen is tomorrow. Though I get confused as goedemorgen is good morning, even though the word for morning is ochtend. So it’s the wrong two words put together in my mind!
