De Witte Brug, Lekkerkerk Netherlands

Hanneke and Aldo have a wonderful home that we saw for the first time. Their backyard view is of farm land used as pasture for cows. The fences (one of them is their backfence, really) are actually small water filled ditches called a sloot or slooten in Dutch. We were regularly visited by ducks in the sloot whenever we stood next to the water.

Aldo and Hanneke have a small motorhome, just the perfect size for two people. We think we inspired them with our Roads Less Gravelled. They regularly take off for weekends and vacations with it.
