I know. You making this even harder on me now for the first year I could hardly wait to leave, 2nd year It felt like home 3rd year I'm really really going to miss this place.
I am working the night shift in Sittard my bus stop is called Lelystad/Kerk (Church next door) I am in the Vijverweg so there is this huge pond i can see out the window loaded with people fishing and ducks everywhere.. This year the pair of Black swans have been nesting she has 6 eggs in the nest. I never even knew black swans existed until I came here.
Hans this is an actual post I made on Facebook a few weeks ago:
If ever there was a modern day Utopia/ Garden of Eden I think I may be living there right now.Sadly the Dutch may not realize how magnificent their homeland is.
I walked for miles along a canal with just a small foot path along it. The water as glistening as a mirror in the sun, ducks with ducklings of all different colors just floating peacefully, purple Loostrife in bloom; (which btw is not an invasive species here), smell of flowers everywhere, no mosquitoes, wood-tics or other creepy crawlies. green pastures with sheep off in the distance, children riding horses, just meandering along the canal.
Anyways,, yup I think I found the Garden of Eden. Good Job on creating this paradise Dutchies, Kudos!
