Perhaps known to some: We are from Zeeuws-Vlaanderen or Zeelandic Flanders in English. Born and raised.
A beautiful piece of the Netherlands. Separated by the Western Scheldt and also divided into east and west by the canal from Ghent to Terneuzen or from Terneuzen to Ghent if you prefer.😉
An area with history, different dialects, beautiful places and proud citizens (who often tend more towards Flemish than Zeeland despite the lyrics in the national anthem). And we cherish a love/hate relationship with the Belgians AND the Dutch, yes even with the Germans. 😛

Like tender soft velvet
your flowers spawn
your fragrance kisses me
like a summers dawn
my admiration never forgone

Zeeuws-Vlaanderen (Zeelandic Flanders), the northwestern part of historic Flanders, is the southernmost part of the Dutch Province of Zeeland. The region is separated from the rest of Zeeland by the estuary of the Westerschelde and has land borders with Belgium only. Since the administrative reformation of 2003, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is made of the three municipalities of Hulst, Sluis and Terneuzen.
On 6 January 2009, René Hoonhorst reports in “PZC” (Provinciale Zeeuwsche Courant) the official presentation of the flag of Zeelandic Flanders, held on 5 January in Terneuzen. The flag was designed by the expert in heraldry Dingeman de Koning, from Axel (Terneuzen).

A song just died in my heart tonight
Because it doesn't wanna be heard
In a world with a melody of fright
And a repeating chorus of hurt
Nonsensical anatomical frustrations

Have you ever thought about the human body? If so, what do you think? If not, don't do it!
Now you might think what kind of nonsense is this here?
For those who don't mind wasting their time reading nonsense, I hereby invite you to read my nonsensical experiences with my own body and my thoughts on human evolution. Of one thing I'm convinced: something went wrong somewhere!

On a day like today, rain & strong wind, I always feel like something savory and comforting. So I looked up an old recipe. It is one of the many variations of a Flemish flan recipe, which is called a Fair flan here in the region.
