It has been a real pleasure living in Walstraat 6 for so long. When Asley and I arrived in the Netherlands we didn’t expect to see much, a side from Amsterdam. It was out of necessity that we had to find lodging away from the big city, now we feel like we were gifted a vacation.
Thank you for showing us the countrysite and for your recommendations. I hope the bridge by Vianen is around long enough for 100 films to made there!

Do the Wall Street Shuffle no 6 when your index is ......
What a nice welcome and a lovely apartment. We felt at home here. The harmony can be found here all the way back. With the coal merchant jacket against the wall cabinet in mind, I went back to earlier in our village. My father was a milkman. During winter he chopped thin sticks to create with the yesterdays newspaper, fire in the stove. I had to fill the coal bucket, anthracite fours. Often the wooden clothesline with laundry hung over the stove to dry.
Thanks for the hospitality, it was perfect.

Walking on the Willibrordpad I came yesterday in IJsselstein. No unfamiliar city because I lived there for over 15 years. It was wonderful to walk to the city and the old town hall, the mill and the churches to Kronenburger Plantsoen, and got your warm welcome and we just ended up in the history of the State Highway Plan 1927 and the 12 bridges. Today was my day off and I enjoyed IJsselstein and the museum. Tomorrow I walk to Culemborg, via Betuwe, Achterhoek, Twente back to Zwolle. I hope I can walk on 'your' bridge tomorrow. Thanks for your hospitality and the good care and great breakfast. I enjoyed.
