    Today I was as good as the only one who walked his dog on the former work island Neeltje Jans.

    the beautiful clouds called for a ride

    I am terribly annoyed by all the commotion surrounding the US presidential elections, corona measures, saving the neoliberal economy, exploiting the environment and many other things that are all important. Today, the clouds invited me to take a ride in my Quest. So I put on my in-ear speakers, put on some quiet blues music,…

    Just visited my former workplace.

    It was storming, it was raining and it was cold. But the dog had to get out and I thought: Let’s go to the monument and let everything blow in the wind … I think it’s fantastic that apparently it was possible to put an old “slakkenpan” next to the monument. Ton Witte could have…

    melancholy

    A large part of my “sandwalk” has been declared a prohibited area by “Natuurmonumenten“. The last bit of sympathy for this organization has also disappeared. On their site they show some nice photos and texts : Is your heart in nature? At Natuurmonumenten we give plants and animals a larger habitat. This is the backyard…

    The Dutch way …

    The Dutch way is to walk for hours in man-made nature parks, such as the Oosterschelde … … and then to eat “Twentse krentenwegge” with “Goudse kaas” and “Fries roggebrood” with “Zeeuws spek” …
