Glad we could help, Miss Veltmeijer. 

Lowestoft used to be a very busy port, with quite a big fishing fleet, so your dad's boat must have visited the port.

Your written English is very good.  I'm sure that the majority of us would not be able to write so well in another language!

Thanks again,

My dad sailed at the Dutch Merchant Shipping,
in the early fifties.

As you can see in the picture, he met someone there ;-)
<< it might just be that there is a brother/sister of mine who lives in England ?  ;) >>

When I was 2 years old my dad took me for the first time to England,
and than I came every year back for 2 or 3 weeks summerholiday.

Even now , I go every year back to England.
My last visit was Cornwall ,... I think England is a beautiful country.
I think I saw more of England than of my own country  ;-))

I was in Yarmouth , I think thirty years ago ( with my dad )
But I never been to Lowestoft,  so I think my next visit shall ( or is it will ) be there ;-))

Thnx  $thanx$
I rather be in England with rain than  have sunny days in Spain.

Lowestoft is the most easterly town in the UK and it nudges the north border of Suffolk. Just over the border is Norfolk - Hopton, Gorleston and Gt Yarmouth. I live 13 miles inland from Lowestoft (equidistant with Norwich and Gt Yarmouth) and our dog often used to take me for a walk along the area shown in the photo. Just down the small cliff from the prom is the 'German Ocean.'  Y^^Y
