The flag hangs at Geert Jan. It is true on the head, but the stallion farmer is far too nervous to pay attention to something so insignificant. After all, today his three women are coming to the farm for a sleepover. He is already afraid of the moment of choice because aren’t all three equally appealing to Jacqueline, Betty and Karine?
Behind the cheerfully waving blue-white-red on his facade, Geert Jan mops the floor, he baked an apple pie with a heart and to be honest, he pulls out all the stops (which also included a series of floury jokes) for a warm welcome. they say cautiously of his guests – who think he is a bit busy. Betty (60): “A person must remain a person, but sometimes it can be a little less …”
Sweet and nice
It is the week of the sleepover at the farm in Boer Zoekt Vrouw. The five farmers hide their three favorite letter writers under the beams for a few nights. Crazy, now it starts! At least, that is what you think as a careless viewer …
The enthusiasm of farmer Annemiek in Tynaarlo lies somewhere deep in a haystack. In the run-up to this moment, her three fans have much less than she had hoped. She sounds dull when she says to Yvon Jaspers: ,, Who knows, maybe the spark will skip over. I would have liked to have one that I would think is “that’s me.”
Annemiek tumbles under a fleece blanket from the sofa when her first guest is in the room. She thinks the boys are ‘sweet’ and ‘nice’ though. But those are Woezel & Pip too. This is serious courtship and those men, sporty Steven, eager Erik and jolly Jelte (de Jong from Jutrijp, drummer of mop orchestra De Putkapel in Sneek) are away from her.
Expert talk
At the table, Annemiek’s father is also there, horse breeder Erik gets involved with a professional talk about artificial insemination. Coffee circulates in mugs by Sneker cow painter Wiebe van der Zee. Does Sir know that they already work with flushing embryos at his company? And yes, senior is impressed.
Jelte de Jong is not deterred by such a competitive get-together. Cheerful shrugging: ,, I think love is more than a topic of conversation, so we will see where it ends. I will be part of a conversation about which I can participate. ”
Meeting farmer
Good hospitality is not self-evident. The Zeeland arable farmer Bastiaan is a meeting farmer. When his wives have just arrived, he is already wearing a shirt for a meeting of entrepreneurs. And he has to go there. Pointing at the fridge, “That’s where the potatoes and the broccoli are.” So, if they’re going to …
Servant women devote themselves to the sacrament while the husband is away. They work as an analyst at a bank (Milou), in psychiatry (Elise) and as a diving instructor in the navy (Madeleen), but here fifty years of emancipation under the potato peeling gets a sensitive blow. When he gets home Madeleen asks him sweetly, “Can we do something for you, Bastiaan?”
Weird things
Zorgboer Jan told last week that after his divorce, he was drinking and tobacco for a while. That didn’t seem to impress his wives, so he must have thought, “It could be even fairer.” At the dinner table he asked Nienke, Froukje and Vera about “strange things”. That’s always useful to know about each other.
Well, Nienke is very fond of Disney movies, she said. The others couldn’t really think of anything. Jan does. “I sometimes go to a party and then I sometimes use a pill or a sniff. I think it’s good that you know that about me.
Vera and Froukje thought it was nice and tough. But Nienke cheered: “I will do that too!”
(About farmer Geert in Noord-Brabant: he lived happily ever after with Vera. Oh wait, were there two more women on Geert’s farm?)
