Thunderstorms and heat waves, we'll survived them all. Art inspires everyone : Sunflowers have become more beloved because of Vincent van Gogh's beautiful paintings. The sunflower is one of my favourites in everyday life I was allowed to take a picture of my lovely neighbour Lisa 93 year, she proudly shows me the beautiful flowers in her vegetable garden, especially her look in her eyes and the nice conversation I just love it ! Lisa is also one of the four ladies who, together with 3 other ladies, form a very strong team of the 'Leading ladies' of Vrebos Everberg in Kortenberg, I like to listen to what she has to tell me about her fine family history and humor, every times very fascinating with so much pride and wisdom On July 30th, we celebrate International Friendship Day. This day was proclaimed by the United Nations to emphasize the importance of friendships for the promotion of peace Helianthus annuus

de 'Ronde van Vlaams-Brabant'. with cobblestone strip, Doelstraat, Vrebos Everberg, if competitions are organized it's always in my street in front of the cobblestone strip of course, from here with the sun you have a beautiful panoramic view as far as the towers of the Haacht brewery. Our new street with cobblestones has a cycling and walking path equipped with all utilities underground. Before that everything was above ground that disturbed the beautiful panoramic view. When the weather is nice and the sun shines with a beautiful blue sky you can see up to the brewery of Haacht, surrounded by Flemish fields and forests.
