Toen ik in nederland wekt, it was always slightly irritating when the
Dutch insisted on speaking English when I wanted to practice my Dutch.

Amazing how people in one small country speak conversational English,
German and Dutch at 13, add French by 16 or 17 and to make everyone, me
certainly, really jealous fluent Spanish by 18 to 21.

Ik hou van de bloemen.
