Greetings from Holland

Hello everybody on POE. Each year when I’m starting to prepare our next visit to England, this website is one of the first I visit to get myself a picture () of the part of England we are planned to explore. After so many years it’s time to join the club.  

My name is Ted, 51 years old, married (almost 28 years with my lovely wife Brigit), have two sons’, 21 and 23 years old, and working for a major French oil company. I’m living in The Hague, The Netherlands.

Al least once a year we are making a long trip to England. Each time to another part, but mostly near the coast. After visiting Kent, Norfolk, Yorkshire Devon and Cornwall, this year Purbeck in Dorset will be our destination.

We like to walk and to drive along the small county lanes, visiting the small villages and towns and all the historical places. Strolling around the car boot sales is some thing we can’t resist at all. England has so much to offer.

From all of our visits I made a lot of pictures and I shall do my best to post some of theme.

The picture above (if it shows) is made in April last year in Coverack, Cornwall. On my little head there are all the pin’s (100+) that I collected over the years that I’m visiting England.

Greetings from Holland

Ted

Many welcomes Ted and also Brigit.

What a lovely picture! I see 28 years of love in that picture.  

May you have many years of roaming the beautiful English countryside together, and many pictures to share with all through POE (Pictures of England). And now we are going to get the pleasure of getting to know you through the forums. Happy day! 

Hi Ted: Welcome to POE  We used this brilliant website when we were planning our trip to England too.  That's a lovely photo of you and your wife.  I looked at your pics - they're brilliant.  Looks like you made it from one end of the island to the other.  And I think another cool thing about England is its proximity to the rest of Europe.  It would be great to be able to be within a few hours of Holland, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Spain, etc.  I'm looking forward to more of your pictures.

Here's a great shot from Ted:
