The artist Vic De Vos of Bonheiden carved the three beautiful signposts with the symbols of Mechelen in 1954. For decades the woodcarvings showed visitors the way to the most beautiful buildings and museums and were featured on tourist posters and postcards.They have withstood all weathers and were in bad shape. After renovation, everyone can admire them in all their glory in the streets again, for me it's a nice meeting place...

Mechelen railway station is getting a new Look in the next years. The beautiful original station will be renovated in the coming years, this clock on the outside is unfortunately going away...when I was on my way home, I came on foot in all kinds of weather from the center of Mechelen to Mechelen Station, this Belgian station clock is a real eye~catcher, it was the first thing I noticed, because I had to be on time to take the train from Mechelen to Brussels...it's almost 5 to 12:00 The station opened on 5 May 1835. The train services are operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you

I had chickens myself once and when I ironed my laundry on my terrace in good weather, my 6 brown chickens would come and keep me company on my terrace, they sat next to each other and looked at me all the time how I did my ironing, a nice mess, they were so curious, when they saw movement, they came out of their henhouse all in a row towards the water pump, I had to say Hello to them each in turn and gave them fresh water and food, this was every day, the daily things of life, they gave me tasty eggs and a lot of friendship and they came to keep me company, still a nice memory

All birds are descended from dinosaurs, but the chicken is genetically the most similar to a dinosaur. Anyone who has seen the film 'Jurassic Park' would not indicate the terrifying creatures, but of the animals still living, Tyrannosaurus rex is genetically closest to chickens and ostriches. It was previously known that birds descended from dinosaurs but bone research now shows that chickens and ostriches are more similar to the extinct giants than reptiles such as crocodiles and lizards.
