  • 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…

Last week, I started my new job as senior-operator at the biofuel plant in Sluiskil. Life is full of surprises  😉

  • 5 years ago

    5 years ago, two of my colleagues died in an accident at the phosphorusplant where I used to work. Today I visited the plant to commemorate and honor them. The company went bankrupt and is now being sold piece by piece and demolished. Former colleagues monitor the site during this last stage and ensure that it remains…
