Hoi to everyone,

I found this great website when I was searching on the Internet for some pictures from places I have seen in England.

My name is Fred and I'm 54 years old. I'm married and I have 3 children from 24, 20 and 10 years.

I live and work in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, as a civil servant. I'm helping out Youngsters with financial and social problems.

In my leisure time I practice Taekwon-do and do some running and of course watch football.

My favourite television program on the BBC is Homes under Hammer.

Since 1995 we travel each year to Britain and always to a coastal area. Mostly we visit Suffolk, Essex, Kent and Surrey. We rent for a week or a fortnight a mobile home at Haven Holidays or Park Resorts. Until now for me the most beautiful place I ever visit was St. Margaret at Cliffe near Dover.

For the first time we now booked a holiday in Dorset for April/May. I will most certainly visit Stonehenge and Avebury.

Sorry for my poor English. Still I hope that this message will come through.

Cheers,

Fred

Hi Fred - I think your English is excellent! Welcome to the forum.

I see from another thread that you love trams. There is a great tramway museum in the Peak District - a bit far from where you are staying though. Also at the Black Country museum near my home there are trolley buses which are similar in many ways to trams. My father-in-law (now deceased) used to be a trolley bus driver in Walsall in the West Midlands.
