Fairly quiet despite the children now you hardly see or hear them Autumn

I wanted a house with a garden with offspring and plant some edible things myself, the harvest is big I give some to neighbours and my children living away from home, the neighbours react a bit strange, neighbours of Dutch origin ask can you eat it, those from other countries are happy with it, well then I think what did you learn at school, mine learned from the school garden where it came from before it lies in the supermarket, but Dutch neighbour lady who asks can you eat it well I think you learn at school from your parents and family where and how your food comes from! children said it doesn't grow in the supermarket! sorry but I just wanted to get this off my chest!

I enjoy living here

Neighbours you hardly ever see or suddenly miss. You wonder where they've gone, sometimes due to death when you see someone else with the little dog, but I also chat with complete strangers, wish them good day and good morning, sometimes get a reply but often not, that's fine too, but that's how I was brought up at home and by my dear grandparents on my father's side, grandparents ma fam Brenkman. Only v from photo Grandpa with helmet with point German! I find it a nice neighbourhood, nice shopping centre and shopping centre Leyweg, hospital Leyenburg in the neighbourhood and Westeinde and with a transfer Rode Kruis, so plenty of choice and known or notorious in all three, ha ha!

But I enjoy walking in the Made Polder via Lozerlaan and Ockenburg to the beach

You see people coming and going, many fellow countrymen, many children of fellow countrymen, occasionally mess in the garden or football in the garden, if they ask nicely I'll give it back, so it's give and take. Only not nice that they throw stones at the windows, I speak to them about it but it goes in one ear and out the other, they are double glazed but still can break. And I'm happy with a small garden, the back is larger, we have fruit trees, I give away fruit, it's edible, think yes, unsprayed, what more could you want! Bus and tram within walking distance, Made Polder, you walk through the parks to Kijkduin, return also on foot as long as it's possible, with sons who still like to take their mother out, and a nice shopping centre, and close to shopping centre Leyweg, walking or by bus, hospital, GP out-of-hours centre, physio, schools in the neighbourhood, although my children are young adults! I want to live here for a good while longer and hope rents don't rise too much! Oh yes, also with our neighbours of Turkish or Moroccan and other backgrounds, nice contact, I am a mixed mum, Dutch mother, German father, regards Mrs Bourquin.

Multicultural

Very good accessibility, bus and tram to the city and plenty of parking spaces. Due to the multicultural society, as a Dutch person you no longer recognise your own country, which is a shame. I would like it if there were also a Dutch cheese shop and butcher, and not just Turkish or Moroccan ones.
