Hi Col1948,
No i haven’t heard of it but googled it just now.
It’s in the province called “Drenthe” it’s called Valthermond (you were close)
I’m in “Noord Brabant” which is in the south. Son & Breugel is near Eindhoven (where i was born).

Hmm, funny because I just looked at the address and I have it as Volthermond.
I used to have a friend in Brunssum but we parted company a few years ago.

I once worked with a team of guys from Eindhoven, they were a great set of lads.

Yes, fancy me correcting you, I looked it up and it is Valthermond, my friend never sent me a correction though, plus my mail always got there lol.

Hi everyone,
I’m not sure i’m gonna put this post here, but wanted to follow up(?) my intro with some pictures:

It al started about 4 years ago, when Chickie showed up in our front garden:

She sat down on the garbage bin in our backyard that night.
I didn’t know anything about chickens, but because it was so cold, i put a blanket around her..the next day she was still sitting there:

I put some hay in our dog’s bench, so she had a little space for herself. She actually layed an egg in it the first day, i’d never seen it before, i even got it on film.

After one week, we bought her a (small) coop. She was watching very closely when hb put it together haha:

Chickie loved to cuddle all day (and so did i)


She became not only very close to us, but also to Bono (our boxer dog, who died last year at the age of 12):

They were always at eachother sides:

Diva and Bono, i miss you every day, hope you two are up there together..Love you
