Before linoleum

On the bank of the mighty Maas, near Venlo.

The beach of the mighty Maas.

Wildflower garden with art.

I'm in the very south of The Netherlands near Venlo, close to the border with Germany. I'm being hosted by a couple who live and have an art studio in the converted novice quarters of a Catholic monastery for monks and nuns in a village called Steyl. Since the computer I'm using is showing me Blogger in Dutch, the spell checker is correcting the English to Dutch and I've only just worked out what Desktop is in Dutch, I'll not stop to write much.
