One winterevening
Grim outside, so it's even cozier inside. Winter 1999. Time to pause and reflect, to be creative in the house. Together we watched the many photos of years gone by. That's when I got the idea to make our own gardenbook. We have been the proud owners of our garden for 35 years now. I wanted to document the fact that many things had changed in there over the years. That's how I started digging in our photoalbums and picking my family's and my own brain. This led to a discussion once in a while. Usually old photos provided the answer. Our garden grew according to our needs and our family situation. But it has always been a source of pleasure. It was and still is a familygarden as well as a living space, with trees and plants, borders and roses. But there's also a herb- and little vegetable garden and some water-parties. Something for everybody... Photos were collected, dates checked. Captions were written and everything was gathered. I was urged to send a story to a gardeningmagazine, which published part of it. Later on, the magazine's webpage proved to be an outlet for more pictures and stories. Now we have reached the point where we can make our own website. Something I will do with great pleasure and enthusiasm. Enjoy reading and watching it. This is what I wrote on my first webpage in the Spring of 2003. In the meantime I am using new software, hoping that my webpage will become even better and more accessible. - January 2004 - Ria
