Welcome.
I am a fairly new member to the forum, interesting place.
When I was young I lived in Den Haag. Father worked in Rotterdam, you can probably guess what he did for a living if I said it did not involve ships.

Welcome from Devon. Where in Holland? I used to live just across the border from Roermond.

Welcome to the forum from the southern edge of the Lake District, Dutch :)
I'm lucky in that I have some fantastic walking country right on my doorstep, local daily exercise is still allowed here in Britain.

Hi fellow Dutchman!
I have been living in the south of England since 2007, though most of my UK walking is in Scotland. But not at the moment of course :(
