Goedemiddag,
Some interesting art and architecture.

Three girls in the wind by Jean Houben. The date on the sculpture is 1980. The only info I could find about Jean Houben is birth and death dates, 1942-1981 so he died just after this was completed. I really like it.
We stopped for coffee in a very photogenic café

Goedemiddag,
You can probably guess what that means: good mid-day or afternoon.
Our passage from Ipswich to Vlissingen was quite comfortable with mostly smooth seas; no rolling or bumping along from wind or waves. The only tricky part came when during my watch I noticed blobs on the radar and lots of lights that didn’t […]
Goode Morgen (or something like that I have to learn.)
Just a quick email to let you know we’ve arrived safely in The Netherlands after a rather smooth passage. Lots of windmill farms in the North Sea. Lots and lots.

Cheers,
So this is my final email from England! The time has passed much too quickly. I’m eager to be home finally in VA, but would have stayed longer if that had been possible. There’s just so much to see that’s new yet so much seems so familiar having […]
Cheers,
I won’t be typing this address much longer! I’m still having to get used to the idea that “the locals” speak English and soon we’ll be moving to where they don’t. I’m going to make at least one or two more visits to the book shelves at the Charity shops to load up. I […]
Cheers,
I’ve been going through my photos of Ipswich that have short stories. I still have some “long stories” to work on, but need more info or more photos. Not much time left either!
I made a return longer visit to The John Russell Gallery. Colleen and I had made a pact to try to recreate […]
Cheers,
Randal and I really are enjoying our time in Ipswich which has passed all too quickly. Ipswich is very walkable and there’s lots to see. We’ve had some interesting folks come look at DoraMac this past week too. But no change in plans; we’re still on our way to the Netherlands May 2nd or […]
Cheers,
Singkey was just here for a long weekend and also new friends Peter and Cathy for a night and lovely day, so I’m pleasantly tired. But I’m getting so far behind on my Ipswich emails that I’m sending this out as is and hopefully most of it makes sense!
Singkey taking her turn in the […]
Cheers,
The sky is gray, the wind is chilly and rain is predicted for most of the morning. Hopefully this afternoon we’ll be able to go out for a walk through Christchurch Park.
The other day during my walk around town I stopped in at the John Russell Gallery on the waterfront. I didn’t even bother to […]
Cheers,
I certainly have learned a lot about the marina basin that we’re in writing up this email. And the buildings that surround the “wet docks” There’s so much to see in Ipswich that our short time here won’t be nearly enough to do it justice. We’ll have no time at all to explore the […]
