There are many Dutch people here, my Oma and Opa left in the early 50's and I got back early this year to visit a ton of my family up in Den Helder. I learned German on my travels when I was younger, so am able to loosely read Dutch, but I find that due to media and culture, Other languages have a leg up on learning English, that, and with only 1000 words you can just about explain anything in English

I live In Den Helder right now
You have a beautiful brewery/burger joint built into one of the old forts. If you have not, I sincerely suggest checking it out. Their burgers are the best in the world, and I have eaten many😄 Roosloot is my Oma's maiden name, it's a small world if you know one 😊
Helderse jongens , I have been there for a birthday party.
I don't think I know your Oma, The name doesn't ring a bell but it's a small world indeed 😊
My Oma has lived here since the fifties, many of her sisters married and so have their daughters, so though no longer Roosloot by name they sprinkle Den Helder and region. I met my Oma's identical twin sister who is 91 for the first time this spring there as well. Here's a picture
That's awesome, It looks like a field near de Lange vliet, but in the spring there are so many flowerfields here, It looks so beautiful then
