One of the reasons not to use FlickR is the connection it has with a rather rude Dutch cursing word. That’s a joke. Really. Right.
Mindlessly browsing through the collection of public photos, I ended up over at and around the Deventer tag, looking for familiar scenes. There are plenty of them (hey, Alfons’ pictures are there too. Do you recognize them?): interesting are the ones shot at the (Deventer) ‘Dickens Festival’. It’s one of the Winter attractions in that very city I visited a couple of months ago.
I never liked that festival and at one time I had to accompany a friend of mine, who apparently really really liked it. I didn’t. But I already mentioned that, right? Anyways, that Dickens’ fest, it’s always held around Christmas time: it’s that time of the year it can be cold, but not as cold as in Nova Scotia.
Here’s a tip: the only big attraction in that city is the August Bookfair. But then, I always hated that too, because it was always too crowded to browse through collections of books. Hey. You guys still have my 18something Van Dale dictionary?
