Dear Lowlanders,<br>
<br>
Two amongst you have stored some more Kahuna brownie points by submitting
stories to our on-line presentations.<br>
<br>
Andrys Onsman has added another story to our Travel collection (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/">http://lowlands-l.net/travels/</a>).
It's about Ljouwert (Leeuwarden),
with an emphasis on the city's architecture. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/ljouwert.php">http://lowlands-l.net/travels/ljouwert.php</a><br>
<br>
I expect it will be as popular as are Andrys' other stories, Tom's stroll
through Edinburgh
(<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/edinburgh.php">http://lowlands-l.net/travels/edinburgh.php</a>) and Roger's stroll through
Steenokkerzeel (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/steenokkerzeel.php">http://lowlands-l.net/travels/steenokkerzeel.php</a>). Actually,
all pages in this presentation are pretty popular as far as visits (hits) are
concerned.<br>
<br>
And Arend Victorie has been at it again. He has contributed two new stories to
the Traditions presentation (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/traditions/">http://lowlands-l.net/traditions/</a>), both of them
based on history and folklore of Drenthe province in the eastern part of the Netherlands. They
are both written in Drenthe Low Saxon (which seems Westphalian-like to me and also
leads over to Low Franconian). Most of you that know Dutch, Afrikaans or other
Low Saxon varieties will probably understand most of it. To make it easier for
our friends in and from Northern Germany I have added versions
of Arend's texts using German-based spelling. (Just click on "Düütsche
Schriefwies'" at the top on the right.)<br>
<br>
One story is about border markers in Drenthe and folk stories related to them:<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/traditions/tales_greinzen.php">http://lowlands-l.net/traditions/tales_greinzen.php</a><br>
<br>
The other story is a dramatized version of "Grote Harold Van Börk" with some reference
to dolmens on the Drenthe Heath:<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/traditions/tales_harold.php">http://lowlands-l.net/traditions/tales_harold.php</a><br>
<br>
Please enjoy these new additions, and please consider contributing new ones to
these and other presentations (bearing in mind that you do not need to aspire
to Andrys' and Arend's literary standards.) Also, please remember that you may
provide information about <b>any</b> part of the Lowlandic-speaking world, not
only European parts.<br>
<br>
Just write to me to find out more, to make suggestions or to submit texts, pictures, audio files, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron<br>
