Station for sale

Imagine, twice every hour a diesel train comes past, a real level crossing nextdoor, the river Scheldt only a few hundred meters away. What a place to live!

No idea how much the Belgian Railways want for it, and how much it would cost to restore the building, but hey, I can dream, can't I?

Change of weather

Today, July 7 2009, we had a change of weather that was quite violent. Nothing unusual after weeks of glorious weather. Especially here in the South-West it comes on full blast with heavy rain showers and thunderstorms. A feast for the eye and the camera - as long as I keep the camera dry, that is.

A 'Heartwarming' song from Minnesota

Admitted, we shouldn't be complaining about the rather cold winter in The Netherlands.
Minnesotans are much worse off. So that's where this heartwarming song was produced.

Enjoy.
