My dad's parents were from Friesland in the Netherlands (spelling ?). My dad was a history professor but two of his main talents are/were unwavering opinions and stubbornness.
Yup, Nederland in Dutch, de "lage landen", Friesland & its islands (Ameland, etc) is a very nice part of the country despite their accent
. Been there with my wife a few years ago. Homeland of a very nice horse breed.
