A friend is shortly going to move to Spain - after much planning - and not a few setbacks. We decide to go for a walk to catch up with each other's news before he leaves.
Our plan to do a leg of the Lingepad is abandoned - so instead we do a tour around Hemmen, a hidden part of the Betuwe, just across the river from where I live. It gives a good opportunity to see the fruit trees in blossom and to catch up with each other's lives and plans.
Like this tree we are marked by the vicissitudes of life (and the fickleness of love)- unlike it we are still standing and growing stronger.

Hi Nick,
I didn't know you still relied on a hamster to power your laptop? :-p
What did you give that hamster instead of barbiturates? Amphetamines a.k.a. speed?
Anyway, It's always fun to read your blogs, mate. As you know i like your sense of humor.
Greetz,
André
Hi Nick,
Nice to see pictures of the enjoyable walk. By now I reached my 'final' destination (hopefully for some time...) in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country), still settling in my new place - will let you know soon.
By the way the place we walked is called Hemmen, not Hemel - though a nice slip of the tongue for such a beautiful place (Hemel means Heaven in Dutch..)
Take care and speak soon,
Henk
Hi - nice to find I have an international readership again- I have felt that circumstances have led me to become so so Dutchified (or ingebuggered) in the past few months. Your correction noted and corrected. (As the Talking Heads once said "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens" - I suspect the same is true of Hemel - however paradise-like it might seem) Veel success in the Basque country.
