Welcome to my website!

Since dancing no longer requires all my time and has even dwindled down to a minimum, I have been looking for other activities and found them – and some of them found me.​ Partly these concern old loves such as writing and editing, and partly new ones: translating Dutch-English and English-Dutch, a love dating back to my early youth. Sitting with my Mum in the fat easy chair I used to read, endlessly, the titles on the spines of her great collection of English books.

Both new ánd old is my love of donkeys: old, because for as long as I can remember my day was made if I had seen a donkey; and new because nowadays I am actually taking care of these extraordinary animals. And my long-standing love of, and working with, biodiversity and everything connected with that, has resulted in a new relationship, with Land van Ons.
Just have a look and read…
