These weeks I enjoy again going to visit friends in all corners of (the small country) Holland by train. This is the quaint station in Soestdijk, close to where my sister Han lives (and also close to the palace of the former Queen Beatrix of Holland). Today I was at the beautiful hobby farm of old friends....
Pieter is a wine expert and during the past 50 years he opened some beautiful wines during my visits (not today, because it was a morning visit). He keeps some of the empty bottles of the best wines all over the house such as on top of a cabinet. Left next to the cabinet is a map of the "Binnenhof" as the old model farm is named (there are three living units, so they have two neighbours). The houses are surrounded by one of the best golf courses of the country, and Pieter has thousands of golf balls which were misdirected and ended up on his property. He has a nice little side business selling these second hand balls....
Pieter has a fifty year old TR6 and he took me for a fun ride in that old-timer. In the meantime is Mary visiting Hilary and Shayd in Penticton, where they put her to work....
And Carly and Mark enjoyed the last few days of their honeymoon on the Greek Islands and in the old city of Athens. Back to the reality of work this week again for them....
