LOL.Well, besides snow we see a little bit of the sun so now and then. But for sure I am getting fed up with this winter already.

Andrzej 26 December 2010 12:18:18

rvanderweele 25 December 2010 20:19:28

I thought we celebrate now the returning of the Sun.

I don't speak about our saviour It's an European tradition ! Isn't it ?

rvanderweele 25 December 2010 19:40:01

Andrzej, I am working hard! Do not worry. Andre, my saviour? I didn't know I need any.

Andre 25 December 2010 19:15:21

Andrzej 25 December 2010 19:11:54

hmm, you don't know ? Maybe you should hard work these days only

rvanderweele 25 December 2010 16:45:47

I hope all of you have an excellent time, but this should not be more excellent than other days in the year. I always wonder why the 25th and 26th of December should be more excellent than other days,

Well, I am not a specialist in history of eating habits, but I remember to have read that before potatoes became ordinary food, people here were eating much more beans.

Andre 20 December 2010 13:21:04

Were they eating sheep instead, Ruud?

Roger Thomason 20 December 2010 01:40:03

They should have stuck around..Lot more Wool after the Highland Clearances...

rvanderweele 19 December 2010 23:38:10

I am a direct descendent of Scottish wool traders, who settled in Zeeland, in the 16 century, so I am pretty sure they didn't eat potatoes.

Roger Thomason 19 December 2010 22:24:58

Traced back my ancestry to some potato eating Scotsman who fled here in 1745 after the Battle of Culloden...so doesn't bode well Jorge.
