Dear library
As long as I can remember -certainly 40 years or more – I have been a member of the public library, and for a while even of the library of the university. I started reading at the age of 5 and since books have been my life. Even when I moved from Sneek to Leek, […]
Book review: Finding Freedom
It is the royal book of the year (at least when looking at the amount of publicity): “Finding Freedom. Harry and Meghan and the making of a modern royal family” by royalty journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. In July 2020 I ordered the book at Amazon, but delivery was so slow that I decided […]

Rain can’t stop the bride smiling
Originally planning to marry on 30 May 2020 also Ferdinand Lovrek and his bride Countess Vittoria von Waldburg zu Wolfegg und Waldsee postponed their wedding because of Covid-19.

Little Charles attended a German wedding
The photos are copyrighted, as usual Antonius Schierstädt married Kinga Edle von Poschinger in the Convent Church Maria Himmelfahrt in Dietramszell, Germany, on 10 October 2020.

Never pretend to be a royal
