ASTRON/JIVE/NOVA mid-winter walk

Submitter: Ina Lenten & Marleen Rohmensen
Description: Een frisse teamwandeling in het bos
daarmee komt er wel wat los
Even gezamenlijk de schouders eronder
want een goede samenwerking
dáár kan niemand zonder.

Gebroederlijk wandelend door ons Dwingelerveld
wordt er gekletst en gelachen
en wat schaapjes geteld.
Halverwege ’t Hof met de “koek en de zopie”
want je krijgt toch wel trek
van zo’n lekker fris “lopie”.

En als klap op de vuurpijl een heerlijk geschenk
dat geeft goede energie
aan onze “ontwikkelingstank”
Dan voldaan en tevree weer terug naar onze stek
want laten we eerlijk zijn, waar vind je zo’n plek!

The mid-winter walk through our beautiful Dwingelerveld on 11 December was a success. At 12 o'clock, a cheerful crowd swung through woods and heaths to the place where the reliable people of 't Hof van Dwingeloo had pitched their "soup and sandwiches" tent, to provide us with a delicious cup of “snert” or mustard soup and sandwiches. Whilst enjoying this, we were able to relax with our colleagues, exchange ideas about daily matters, and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Before the walk resumed, we received a delicious “banketstaaf” from the hands of Carole Jackson. Along with this, we received a lovely poem, in which Gert Kruithof expresses in a clever way the various events that the Institute has experienced during the past year. Finally, just a little bit of awareness: in this time of global warming, where skating on the ponds seems to be rare, we may have created a valuable, new tradition with this walk: the "ASTRON/JIVE/NOVA mid-winter walk". In this way we are adapting to a new situation. To quote the wise words of Charles Darwin: “It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most adaptable to changes."
