Week 26 Busy, Busy

Too busy, in fact... to do justice to this week...

So, just some photos.

The weather is very good, so we'll be taking the boat back to Heerenveen today...or maybe just to Gorredijk. Then back to Felder's Boskje with the clients during the week...just thinking out loud.

Food Bank Action Day

Janny has had a few hectic days with organising a "24-hours Actie" to raise money for our local Food Bank.

It was supposed to be last year, but that was rained out! So different this year - it was probably too hot! But it went OK and the representative of the Local Government was happy with the contribution.

Work on the Summer House (Simmerhuis, in Frisian)

Our old front door - 15 years later! Insulated cladding coming on the outside...

Ben in China

Just after last week's posting, Ben sent in some more photos and information about his work - and a new adventure!

The photos were for the Winter Collection of a big (yuge) clothing chain in China - "Semir", with more than 4000 stores in China and Dubai. But it was HOT! The Agency had not told Ben what it was about - just "be there". So, it was all very unexpected and "different".

Somebody asked Ben if he was going to Zhangjiajie...so he looked it up and was "sold" on the idea. The client (clothing company boss) even offered to pay for the return flight to Shanghai - just so that Ben would have time to do it.

So, Ben had a sleeper train to get there...

and these photos... He teamed up with a couple of Americans and a Chinese student - who handled the translation.

It is a comparatively remote area and Ben said that lots of people asked him to be in their "selfies"...

Haven't had time to read the paper this week...but I did keep aside a story about "Pauper's Paradise" which is not far from here - a facility set up for poor people, many (100?) years ago. Hopefully next week. And a new initiative from the Marrakrite group... "Mar Buoys" - Mooring buoys set up in remote locations...
