    Zuidland, the village where we live. Zuidland is a small village (6000 inhabitants) where many people know each other. We have been living there for 16 years now. We live on the edge of Zuidland, where there is a lot of nature. It is quiet and actually we do not often visit the village itself. When we find our dream house we want to live in Hellevoetsluis (my birthplace). It is closer to my mother and we hope to find a piece of land there for our future animals. It is a difficult time, few houses but we keep dreaming.

    Beautiful village and such tame sheep, I howled with laughter when Fred ran to get away from the flies, the tune was most fitting, and I wondered if he knew you were going to add it. I went to The Netherlands when I was in my teens, I loved the flatness of it especially for cycling, and the bulb fields were amazing, thank you for sharing.

    Jullie twee blijven ons verbazen! Bedankt voor de rondleiding door Zuidland. Het dorp is schattig en klein, net als thuis. Thuis, ik bedoel waar mijn ouders verbleven tijdens de 2e wereldoorlog. Fred krijgt bier, voor de smaaktest na het eten toetje! Ik hield van de schapen en Fred die voor de dazen rende. Je moet een soort natuurlijke insectenspray bij je hebben om ze bij je weg te houden. En ik vond het "kak"-schot niet erg. Het was realistisch, dat is wat dieren doen! Nogmaals bedankt voor je vriendelijkheid om ons op de hoogte te houden van de avonturen van Loulou en Coco. Het zijn echt jouw avonturen en we houden ervan. Het maakt ons aan het lachen elke dag hebben we een traktatie zoals wat je doet.

    Hi Eveline! Zuidland is beautiful! Keep the tours coming! I love stone cottages. Can you apply for a permit to raise plants or animals or do an animal boarding and grooming business so that you can acquire more land? There should be a way around something if you can secure a permit and business license. Leader Loulou never ceases to amaze me. She faced those ewes head on! I have never seen sheep that close up. They reminded me of clouds. I thought that Lou would would gravitate towards the black one. Notice she got right up to the top of the fence! The pooper bloopers were funny. Poor Fred! How did he get downwind of horse flies? I am sure that he will especially enjoy his beers today! I still get a kick over those labels. Take care. 😉 🐑 🍺 🍻

I enjoyed seeing my sweet Loulou and her pup, Coco frolicking around on their strolls, enjoyed seeing you and Fred shopping for a variety of beers, and enjoying spending time with the sheep. 🐑 The scenery was truly " breathtaking," from the skyline to the fields and beyond. Have a fantastic day. Take care 🧸

The polder area that's part of the Zuidland territory actually reaches pretty far and is one to behold. So many great cycling routes along rivers, creeks, connecting with the other villages as well.
