Winter tijd!

It's time now to set your clock and advance it one hour from the summer time. If it is now 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you need to move the hand of the clock into 2 o´clock. This is one of the traditions here in Europe to have more lights in the morning when the winter comes. Of course! Each country have different way of adjusting their time. Here in the Netherlands, it follows the Central European Time wherein the time is shifted forward by 1 hour or  2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+2) after the Summer months. But when the Summer comes, the time will shifted back one hour from CET or GMT+1. This changes in time always happen in the last Sunday of March and in the last Sunday of October.
