  • new chickens

    Our last chicken died a year ago. What to do with an empty chicken run ? Well it’s easy;  fill it with some new chickens ! So I bought 3 chicken-sisters … They’re a mixture of Sussex and Australorp. A brown, a black and a white one.

  • four young blackbirds

    one day old

  • blossom …

    … in our pear tree

  • upgrading cars …..

    …. by making bicycles of them !  I think it’s the best way to practice Cradle-to-Cradle on a scrapyard.      Bicycledbikes.com is trying to set up a project and  do it ! When reading te comments beneath the YouTube-video, it is clear that people need a lot more information about the consequences for the…

  • We’re in the middle of it ….

  • bus-car-bicycle-velomobile

    Every now and then there is someone who wants to show the difference. And the idea is so simple, that it’s being copied easily. I wonder how many photos were taken with this setup … The first one was taken in the Netherlands, (I think in Amersfoort) for the ENWB. A here is a follow-up…

  • A developed country is …

  • Farmageddon

    If you’re watching your television with 50 channels of shit and feeling bored, then maybe it’s a good idea to watch this documentary.  And then think until you can’t see straight.   I took a two-hour ride in my velomobile to think it over and over . Touring in my Quest is an ideal way…

  • before-after

    before;  I couldn’t even see the cellar in our garden …   after; I can go down the cellar steps again.   A lot of spiders, frogs and other creepy creatures down there ……
