Diary
2023
My
old old old worn diary
There
was a chinese store with such a beautiful stuff where I bought the
diary a long time ago. It smells strange, promises of adventures of an
unknown country long before Facebook and smartphones existed.
The
store is gone but this diary, written with bold handwriting I still
have. So that is why I made this set long ago.
Februari
12th
Nighttime.
I cant sleep so I write something here. It is so quiet outside. No car
passing by.. My cats are sleeping. A lot is happening in the world.
So sad. The world is changing. Too Fast. Too bad.

Finally I read the book
from Mary Maccracken
https://marymaccracken.com/
The
Memory of all that. What a great book. What a great love was there.
Alzheimer came in their life but love still stands between Mary and Cal.
Mary had also
written books about lost childeren.
May
Finally
I was there: England. After more than 4 hours driving and on the boat
to England I arrived in Dover and went away. At first it was scary to
drive there and I pay attention all the way I hit the road. Everytime I
told myself drive left. The roundabouts are different thinking also.
Sometimes I did it wrong. I missed a turn right and ended almost in
London.
It was so great.
I drove in small roads, visiting very old trees and beautiful gardens.
Days after I feel my feet.
I want to go
back. It was so great
June
24
The
day is almost over. Just come back from work. Sitting outside, hearing
the cars passing by and somewhere music. People talking loud.
The moon is shining. My
cats are sleeping. Time for me to go to bed but my head is full
July 19
Days flies
by. 2023 is
already beyond the line.
I am
writing in the
dark and thinking on a lot of stuff. First about the writing. My dutch
story is complete and a friend looks into it now. I must work on the
cover, wish I did that. But work is demanding and it ask a lot of
time.
A few days
ago I visit
some old trees: 
When you
visit the
thousand years of yews in England and then look at this young one, it
is a world of difference.
But it was
great to
get outside and free from work.
My
birthday I celebrated
in Amsterdam
60 years!
A big part of
my life is gone. Maybe I live 10-20 years. Wow.
Yes
Amsterdam. So crowdy.
On my
treehomepage you
see the trees I visit (working now on it) but you see here some
touristspots (and I didnt visit it as much as I wanted)
September
26
Yesterday
I went
very early to England (more than 4 hours away) My home and the city
sleeps. And now I am in England, again in Broome Park Hotel Canterbury.
I visit yesterday the great church in Dover. Every church is great with
their old yew trees.
It is
early. And I think of
my day today. A lot of trees to visit. I planned it too crowdly. As I
say I am in the great hotel and again I stay in room Canterbury. I was
hoping for another one. This one is great but old and it is here where
I hit my head May this year.
A week
Later...
Then
I was packed my belongings, Then I cleaned my house and say goodbye to
my cats, checke if I didnt forget anything. Now I am sitting here (last
day free) and go back to morrow working. It was great and tired but
faboulous.
Canterbury
was so great
More than a month later (oktober - november) I almost forgot how it was in London. ABBA Voyage I
Wish I could visit it once more. I must admit, England is in my body.
Often I think when I was there and miss it so much. It feels like home.
It cost really much money and my visit to London and the cab was also
very expensive. Really expensive. ABBA Voyage. The magic and the music. Only memories remain. I hope I can see it again. November 26 Autumn
has arrived and the oak lost his golden leaves. This year has only 1
month and then we transfer to next year. I had a to do list and did a
lot of it but not all. Work is asking so much of me and I am getting
older, feel my body and wonder if I can do much visiting next
year. England
was so great. The travelling was very demanding and I had to remind to
go on an adventure when worries overtook me. My first real vacation in
years. Unfortunally I left my harp unused. A big regret. As always I wonder what next year bring and looking back on this year. Also watch Beauty and the Beast with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. Magical.
