This was taken late afternoon on a Friday so I am guessing that the workers were still at work and the shoppers etc had already gone home.

Saturday morning it was buzzing, the market was in full flow and on Sunday it was heaving with people because the carnival was taking place!

I’m liking this town hall and square a lot. Must be difficult in the day time getting photo of this as I’d imagine there would be loads of people about.

Thanks for the link to Gorinchem it looks a wonderful place to live. I see the similarities between the Belgian towns I have visited.

Also a mixture of old and new architecture side by side.

Don’t you just love this town-hall. It looks so Medieval, love the silhouettes. I ‘get it’ more and more why tourist love places like this and like many places in the Netherlands. They are different…..
We see these buildings all the time, and we don’t notice it anymore…. But I still love the beauty of the town, in which we live, Gorinchem http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorinchem if you change between Dutch and English you will get more pictures for the overview.

and “wisdom”

I do seem to be losing grip on the connection between my mind and my fingers (not that I would expect a judge to accept that defence, should it ever be needed).

Hmmm…. but woulf I let a crafty lady provoke me into complying with her sly wish?

It’s a dilemma (but more fun than the original nugget of wit and wisdon, whatever it was).
