Thought it would be fun scanning a few more old pictures. Here am I with my mother and sister at the Muiderslot in the Summer of 1983. It seems to have been the Summer I took my first own pictures with the camera of a friend of my parents. During the holidays we spent some […]

I had a variety of choices, the best one of it was to book my flights via Austrian Airlines and fly via Vienna, Austria. […]
I have never counted them, but I must have hundreds of books, mainly about royalty. From simple booklets, picture books, biographies, autobiographies and genealogical works. Books about endless topics like cooking, fashion, animals, special occasions, jewelry, yearbooks, families, people and of course castles and churches. As you have seen in my previous post my bookshelves […]
