@Abner There you go… lol…the internet shows me a map of Haarlem… and Frans Hals museum… and I have a copy of the Gypsy Girl in oil painted by an uncle on my wall behind me.

I like pictures too..

I also love words; I love learning languages, and etymology fascinates me @Appleblossom.. My mother was French and my maternal Grandmother was Belgian and spoke both French and Flemish, which is closely related to Dutch.  One of the things I enjoy about the Beatles' songs is the grammar is beautiful.

I don’t really speak another language properly. Just English @Abner but have sung in many languages. 

Flemish background is interesting. My family lived in Brabant before they migrated to Australia. Mother learned piano in Antwerp.

My Bonne Maman lived in Wallony, I'm not sure where but can probably find out.  I'd love to go to Belgium one day, and recently watched a production of The Love of Three Oranges on YouTube done by the Royal Opera of Wallony   Do you like opera or ballet @Appleblossom ?
