The green-blue blade design seems very on point for the environment of the club. <br />Our club has a single wherry as well, but I believe it's only used for weddings (in which case I think whoever is not wearing a long skirt gets to row. Maybe go extra-puffy with the skirt to prevent Sore Cox Bum?) <br />The partly-tile, partly-thatch roof cladding originates in farms where the front of the building was the family home and the back was the stable. Thatch was the cheapest roof treatment in those days, but it was always dusty and often windy and leaky as well. So if they could afford it, the family home got tiles. There's even a figure of speech "order de pannen zijn" (being under the tiles) which means having ones affairs in order financially. Nowadays, of course, it's the more well-off families that thatch their roofs...Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832180643456563012noreply@blogger.com
