Typical Dutch, Roosendaal NB

DIJKWETERING means dike watercourse. It's just the name of that little stream. Thank you for the nice words, Asia. (don't know your name) Mieke

Leuk om te shoppen ook !!
Leuke stad, ook leuk om te shoppen. Ik kom zo om de twee à drie weken wel een keertje langs. En voor we naar huis gaan eerst koffie (al dan niet met gebak) bij Le Duc ... Gezellig!

Dat is lang geleden
Well, it is 36 years ago dat ik gewerkt heb in het oude ziekenhuis in Roosendaal en de stad is nog steeds hetzelfde, leuk om weer eens iets te zien wat ik lang vergeten was. Thanx.

Hallo Mieke, leuke foto's van Roosendaal. Ik had geen idee hoe dat eruit zag. Wat heb ik toch eigenlijk nog weinig van Nederland gezien.
