Dumortier


In may I was in Huldenberg with Elmo. Ophi was going to babysit Elmo, but because of some misunderstanding he wasn't at home. Elmo and I decided to go for a walk.
We climbed the hill, where we found Tom, who was enjoying the beautifull weather in his backyard. Tom is one of the only friends Saskia and I have that Elmo considers as one of his own best friends. Quite funny the way he talks about him.
On our walk, we stopped at the farm of Tom's grandparents. There we met an award winning poet.. planting some patatoes.
A little later, Elmo met an actor that also drives a huge tractor. You can imagine what an impression he made on the little fellow.
And finally, we discovered wild animals while they enjoyed their afternoon nap. A fascinating sight.
A few months later, the lady of the house passed away. I remember the ceremony as a colorfull yet respectfull moment of peace. The actor and the poet, together with their brother, brought back some beautifull long forgotten memories. Made you wish you lived in the past.
