How does it feel to be 'the wife of'?
I certainly do not feel as such but it makes a good series of interviews by Gwen van Loon in the Financiele Dagblad of The Netherlands. My interview was published today.

Water plants in September

Every year I know it must be September when the still waters get covered with these very small water plants making it look as if it was a huge flat grass carpet. The swimming birds leave very small traces as they go trough it. I only see a small water black spot.
Every year as I see the plants I think of the story I was told of my father-in-law's brother who as a little toddler lost his life in the green covered dark waters.

Mother and son 10 years later.

As I was downloading a photo to my facebook page I noticed that these two photos have a lot in common with each other. By chance they were both covers of their albums. First Zillis, CH summer 1997, second Scheveningen, NL summer 2007. In both photos I am embracing Gabriel. Colors are similar too.
