Very different here, in the marshlands. People here always had to calculate
the rules of the sea, e.g. the tides, the height of spring tide, with and
without the wind coming from a certain direction etc. They always knew: if
you don't build the  dikes highly enough no ghost or God would save you from
being drowned! Additional the open artificial landscape doesn't give much
chances for 'trolls' and other mysterious creatures to hide themselves..
>For the same reasons people here never have been very religious; their
fight against all types of constrained christianity, always hand in hand
with nobility and authority endured till the 19th century and still results
in a distinctive free thinking.

Hey Jonny, dat vaalt mi'j op ! Ik docht dat et bi'j oons krek aandersomme
is: in de hiele streek van Noord-Grunningen en Noord-Frieslaand op de klei
langs de hiele Waddenkust wonen neffens mi'j juust een hiele protte
geleuvige meensken, meerstal Griffemeerd Protestaans. Juust in dat vlakke
laand ziej' daor al hiel in de veerte de grote - haost wat lompe -
karketorens boven alles uut stikken. Ok de bewoners van de Waddeneilanen
(Schiermonniksoge, Amelaand, Terschelling, Vlielaand, Texel) bin bi'j mien
weten beheurlik 'an de karke'! Onder eren op Amelaand wonen naost de
Griffermeerden en Hervormden ok een protte Kattelieken trouwens. Ja, dat kan
hier gewoon...!
Mit een vrundelike groet uut Stellingwarf,
Piet Bult
