  • remain only 10 sheet more

    nu nog 10 velletjes I forgot to buy rolling papers for my shag, so I used an old pack of my “smoking-museum”. It’s been years and years since I’ve come across this piece of paper for the last time.

  • 40 years ago

    40 years ago I thought we were beyond the racial problem. But I now feel that the current generation makes it bigger again due to lack of proper education and upbringing.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuznDnDlTuI

  • H Wijngaarden

    There is an old newsreel on the site of “Beeld en Geluid” which shows some problems for the pilots on the “Westerschelde” after a period of intense foggy weather. My father-in-law worked as a pilot in those days (1959) and therefore the video is a sweet memory ….. You can see his “beurtpennetje” in the…

  • a long time ago …

    Our ancestors had to work hard and long …..

  • visited the farm again

    We went back to the farmhouse together. It’s like a museum of how the poor simple peasant  in Zeeland was working and living for the past 100 years ….     I was able to film the stable and got the impression as if the animals were just taken out. It would be the perfect decor for a movie about…

  • garden bench restoration

    We’ve  inherited an old garden bench from Marjan’s parents. A wrought iron frame with pine slats. The slats have perished long ago and the frame served as “decoration” in our garden. We decided to give it a third (fourth, fifth, sixth ; who knows ?) chance. The frame showed lots of earlier “restorations” 😉 I found out that hard wood has…

  • a draw-well

    I’d like to have a draw-well in my garden, just for watering the flowers and to replenish the pond. Because I am interested in crafts, I started Googling and found almost nothing about digging a well. Only information about drilling them. So I started looking at our library and found all the info in WALD (ISBN 90-70845…

  • Putin

    Putin wants to restore Russia. He wants to make it the important country it once was.   Maybe I should sent him the old Shares that my grandfather bought 100 years ago to invest in the Russian industry. Thanks to those investments Russia became the world-power it is today. So the Shares must be worth millions by…
