Some time ago I was informed that Ellen ten Damme would give a special concert. There were two reasons for this concert to be special: All the songs would be in German. And concert would be used to make a new CD. So I bought tickets for the best available seats. The concert would be…

A walk along the Zandvoort Beach…
Already for some time Marion and I had planned to have a nice walk along one of the beaches here again, but because of all kind of reasons it just didn’t happen. So this morning the sun was shinning and we saw our chance today. We decided to go the beach of Zandvoort. The train…
Valentijnkade Amsterdam
Recently I have talked with some of my family (my fathers side of the family) about the Valentijnkade in Amsterdam. The reason we talked about this street is rather simple, it is the street where my grandparents lived and where my father grew up. Pictures from long ago showed up, which was wonderful to see…
Life is there to… see Faun on stage.
I really did forget about this… Before Marion left for her yearly break to Hawaii, we had a nice Sunday evening together in Amsterdam. First we had dinner at a very good steakhouse of who I sadly the name forgot. But the main attraction of the evening was a performance of “Faun”, which was in…
Life is there to… clean the house
Now that sounds bad… that it is time to clean the house? Which sounds that it is all dirty and a mess? Well, luckily that is not the case at all :-). Thing is, normally during the weekends I do everything that is needed to keep the house clean… dusting, vacuum cleaning, the bathroom and…
Life is there to… celebrate Valentine’s Day!
Today is Valentine’s Day. The day for those people who really love and care about each other. My very logical side tells that such a day is nonsense as when you really love each other, there is no special day needed. But my more romantic part admits that such a day is wonderful to express…
Life is there for… 2013!!!
And then suddenly it is 2013… Last year I had basically only one new years resolution and that was not to throw as much food away as I used to do. I really managed to do that. I take a bit more care of the amounts of food I buy. Which can be a bit…
Life is there to… read about “Our Sea of Love”
Some time ago I read a poem about the Sea and Love. The poem really touched me somehow. But in time I almost forgot about it. But as I was working this weekend on a picture of the sea, this poem came back to mind. It was not easy to find again on the Internet….
Life is there to… see Haaksbergen again…
Although I was born in the city of Amsterdam, I spent the most of my live in a town called Haaksbergen. Haaksbergen is a town in the eastern part of the Netherlands. My parents moved from Amsterdam to Haaksbergen when I was very young (I was around one and a half years old). I have…
Life is there to… see Amsterdam again
Yesterday Marion and I planned to visit Amsterdam. Not with a specific goal, but just to enjoy the city again. When Sanne heard this, she told that she would love to come along with us. And as Sanne is good company, why not. We agreed that we would meet at the “Amsterdam Centraal” (the main…
