Quiet but still

It's a nice little square, a bit quiet though. Occasionally we get together. We look out for each other and that's nice. Feeling at home somewhere is important.

Could always be better

Regularly no consideration for each other (probably because I come from the west and there they did consider each other, the municipality was doing well in that regard). For example, in the west we had to keep the alley behind your garden clean; here in the alleys it's a jungle and mess of weeds. If an emergency service ever needs to get through, they'll have to clear the path first.

Exceptionally beautiful

Social, compassionate, cosy and beautiful. A small village in Gelderland. We know each other. You can count on your fellow villagers and especially your neighbours. Whether it's for a small errand, walking someone else's dog, or watering the plants when someone is on holiday. And the children are involved in everything and look after each other's children. We are there for each other! There is always something to do. Every year something special with the neighbourhood. We keep the neighbourhood tidy together. Would never want to leave here.
