Late New Year’s reception for residents of Sint-Katelijne-Waver: “The sun is shining, let’s take advantage of it”

Julienne Hectors (94, photo below) came to eat chips with her family. “It’s beautiful. I’ve been living in Sint-Katelijne-Waver since 1958 and it’s the first time I can come to a New Year’s reception. The atmosphere is very good.”

Nadia Peeters (photo at the top of this article) raises a glass with some neighbours. “It is very nice to see the neighbors and the other villagers again, and it is safe because we have been checked. We are now going to drink a few glasses of cava and eat some fries.” At the beginning of January, Nadia and her neighbors are there again. “They can even do it again next week”, a neighbor adds with a laugh.
