After many days of thinking what to write for my dear readers of the sometimes weekly, now monthly news posts, I’ve finally come up with some points.
First of all I’d like to inform you all that I’m sitting in the sun writing this on a peace of paper without a shirt on! Yes dear readers, the sun is that nice. Not to make you entirely jealous, I won’t walk around like this cause the wind is still pretty cold. No picture tho cause that would make you entirely jealous ( ha-ha )
Saumur is coming up and for the ones who don’t know, It’s an international vaulting competition. I’ve been asked by the Belgian team to help them out with their compulsories since one of them is injured. Well.. asked.. It sort of happened automatically. Rob and I have been training for a while now but last week i was getting nervous already. It’s weird cause I’ve never been like this before a competition. The reason is I know I can improve so much on some exorcises in a short period of time. I know cause I’ve been better and this period I’ve been abroad I’ve worked a lot on my physical skills. Ah well.. 1,5 week to go.
Which reminds me, after Saumur I’m planning on going home again. I’m in need for money ever-since there is another great trip ahead. So “The End?” NO! I’m also a bit done living with just a few pounds and euro’s. I do want to continuous vaulting when i come back, so if anyone in the vaulting world is reading this… I’m also looking for a well paid job. (attention! well paid is underlined)
Some business talk: Robs website is going great. It’s really looking good and working nice. I’ve finished the logo for theDutchdesigner.com and the website itself is starting to shape up as well.

Any good?
Clouds are forming, the sun is away, my t-shirt is back on, so a good time to stop writing. Might be the last greetings from France…
Ps. It will be nice seeing everyone again.
Horse is arrived! Well… actually 2/3 weeks ago. We’ve been working with him since and he’s doing really well. Now i just need to start vaulting normal again.. haha. I still don’t feel like my old me even though im showing some progression. It’s probably because of the new horse too but still. I want to be vaulting like my old me again. And better.
The family found me last weekend. My mom and dad came for a visit which was really nice. Friday was their arrival and i showed them around. As good parents do, they gave me presents anda big survival pack:P. I’ve had a lot of food i liked to eat in Holland. Also my sis and uncle and aunt gave me a small survival pack. (mostly candy though..;)) I’d really like to thank my sis for the small ba(rt)cardi bottle though, didn’t use it yet but i will soon:P. After all that we went to have a look in Deauville that and night and had something to eat. Saturday it was Tour the France day. We jumped in the car and went straight towards Honfleur, stopped there for a while and walked around town. After we went on to Trouville, same again and on to Deauville. At night we watched a movie and in all between we chatted about everything and nothing. The weather on Sunday was terrible. We planned to go to Trouville in the morning. Every Sunday morning there is a market but the weather really could have been better.. So instead we had a lazy morning and about 11 my parents drove back to Holland again. It felt really weird because that night i was talking on the phone to them when they where back home again and it felt like they’ve had never been here.. Too quick, tooooo quick.. Again in 2 months?
So far last weeks news!
Don’t worry, be happy
