Hello, my name is Jannie - yellowtulip3 (my favourite flower and 3 the month I was born) Born in Amsterdam NL, (the reason for my favourite flower) lived in Australia for all but 2 years of my life. Have lived in four states in Australia, well I can't really remember one of them (NSW) but South Aust. Victoria and now Queensland. Have loved everywhere I've lived and look forward to going back to NL for a visit again hopefully in the not too distant future. I really enjoy trivia quizzes and puzzles in general.

Welcome aboard, yellowtulip! I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here, if you have any questions, just shout and somebody will probably have the answer for you. Oh, and if I were you I wouldn't come to the Netherlands until our spring/your autumn, as the weather here's pretty awful at the moment.

Thanks for the welcome. For me anytime is a good time to visit NL. Have been in Oct/Nov and last time in 2000 was there Mar/Apr. Would really like to be there one year for "Sinterklaas" Living in Queensland (sub tropical)it's quite nice to be cold once in a while!

So do we think of you as being yet another Aussie? You are very welcome no matter which country you hail from.

Apparently some Australian team known as the Tigers were playing this weekend, not sure how they got on. Anyone know?

Hello from Perth from another Aussie with Dutch ancestry.

I love yellow tulips. When I went to visit my cousins in Holland in 2000, they filled my bedroom with them so yellow tulips bring fond memories for me.
