Cosy with the neighbours and a few residents, but the rest are strangers

It used to be such a cosy neighbourhood, everyone helped each other, friendly, the children played together, not anymore. A drug house has been closed three times since the houses were sold, you hardly know anyone anymore, such a shame. Lots of strange people. Lots of rubbish though. At the back there is lots of green, sports fields, a large forest, a big pond. That is beautiful.

Very nice

Here where we live it's nice, very wonderful neighbours, safe, only on the other side not much green and forest behind us at the Schiffeler that is a residential farm, nice and quiet, the Kaldeborn it's called here, lots of sports and games so many people. And hockey fields also beautiful and the schutterij has a beautiful hall here and the pipe band the bagpipes, wonderful corps. We have lived here for 50 years.
