Twice a year I go to Holland, driving my own car. To visit my children and grandchildren, to see the publisher, to give my car a good overhaul, to see my friends and to do some shopping. And often to give a presentation, this time on Orbs at Op Hodenpijl in Schipluiden.

And also to act as deliveryman, bringing wines and Blanquette de Limoux, home made sambal and goods from Joke’s shop Renaissance to Holland. And taking back all those special things from Holland, like my new books, DVD’s, peanut butter, lots of stuff from the Toko and more, much more.

On the way up and on the way down, I always try to visit new places, interesting places. Or places I want to see again.

This trip was special. In many ways. I took my time, three days, going up and three days going down. And saw how beautiful France is. And I stayed a bit longer in Holland and saw how beautiful Holland is. And I met some wonderful old and some wonderful new girlfriends. All very, very special. Join me on this trip and I will tell you, and show you, day by day, what happened. Enjoy dear friends, enjoy!

My dear friend Abraham has advised me to change the technology behind my website for more security and also to be able to communicate in a friendlier manner on mobile devices, it is call responsive I believe. It means that my site will be rendered on mobile devices, wide screens, laptops and desktops in a manner of the sizing of the screen of my friends and visitors. Also we have decided on a new bloggin engine to which on can subscribe for all my entries or a specific category, if you do so you will receive an email from me in case there is a new publication on my site. 

At last I am going to venture into the Audio world. It is my believe that lots of people have more time to listen than read while driving or otherwise. So on my return to France, after my Dutch presentation on Hodenpijl, Jamie on his Cloud will be my first trial. Shall keep you posted of course.

Another newsletter for October! How wonderful, I hope. But I had to. For after my newsletter on Power Places Tours, some things happened that had to be told and that had to be seen. Besides I am going to Holland the first weeks of November, so you can also see this as an advanced newsletter. Enjoy!

A special newsletter. Describing the wonderful adventures of an American group, visiting the South of France. Six people, two men and four women, staying in France for eleven days. With me as the driver, the driver of a minibus seating eight passengers, as the tour guide and the lovely Lillis as the tour leader. It is basically a funny story, but also a story with some interesting aspects. The places we visited were really impressive. Power places, special places, lovely places. So people were very enthusiastic. And showed it, and said so. So much so that I once called this tour should be called “The Wow and Gosh Tour”. A great title for a new book. So enjoy my friends!
