We had been to the Netherlands for a visit recently. The Rijks and Van Gogh museums are located in Amsterdam. The Rijks houses, among others, the paintings, drawings and letters of the great Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. The one I most loved is an oil by Jan Davidsz de Heem called `Festoon of fruit and flowers`.
This is from a visit to a wooden shoe maker. They make wooden shoes from the wood of poplar trees for farmers because they are practical in the marshy wet areas there.
