Eindhoven

Today we went to Eindhoven, a town just near Heeze, in the Brabant provence (north). We went to Piet Hein Eek (design workshops) and had coffee and then onto Strijp-S, which is also design and other workshops. Both are using old Phillips factory buildings. We then went to Nuenen to the Van Gogh centre. Nuenen was a town Van Gogh lived in between 1883 and 1885.

Tonight we went to Lierop, another small town near Heeze, where we shared Arno & Marianne's 26th wedding Anniversary dinner. It was good.

    Fab pics and times. And remember, Lucky Bastard, the words of an old Scots mate of ours, "the suns always over the yard-arm somewhere on earth, son".
