Het lijkt er op dat de cyclamen de meerderheid hebben. Ik laat het aan jou over. Als jij er een bericht over wilt doen, graag.

For many of us Jaromir Grulich remains a gardener of exceptional talent - these carvings are a demonstration that he had other great talent also - I hope you folks know how very lucky you are to have such a fabulous donation to your raffle !

Thanks Kris, Maggi and Luc,
I am shy of you praise
For me, these woodcarvings a reminder of the friendship with Jaromir.
In the 90s Jaromir did arrange the administrative matters for us when buying our first home there.
He was very correct. We trusted him 100%.

And Maggi, the picture that is Jaromir as I remember, a slim man who was always busy between the rocks.

His health was important to him, he gets up every morning at 5 am and went outside his yoga exercises, washed himself in the stream and went to work in his garden or workshop. (summer and winter)

And his English was better than mine.

Hier heb ik nog wat foto's gescand (toen nog geen digitaal) uit de begin jaren '90, toen wij ons eerste huisje hadden gekocht in Snezne,  op 5 km van Sedlonov, de woonplaats van Jaromir.

Dear Jan,  your English is excellent!
And do you also speak Czech?

Hi Maggi,

No, Czech I speak a little. 

My wife speaks it as a Czech, but also speaks Russian. 

So I was lazy to learn it well, I always had my wife with me.
