One of the nice streets in the old part of Dieren, lined with somewhat grand houses. This is where I walked going home from school and vice versa.

I'd advise a very special playground De Spelerij in Dieren (www.spelerij.nl)
There are unusual playing objects, really mechanical objects made of scrap material and a lab for children. A learning experience. It's even interesting and a great experience for adults.
De Spelerij is invented by an artist and his objects that the children play with are his art.
I do have some old photo's somewhere but it will take some time to find them!

Every time I crossed the railway on my little bike as a 11 year old, on my way to the swimming pool or the shops, or friends, I'd pass the Gazelle factory. It looked huge then but it still is.

I've had lunch here years ago so I can't really say anything about it, 'xcept it looks nice and probably has the general menu such as soups, sandwiches, saté and salads.

Dieren has a train station which brings you to for instance Apeldoorn and Arnhem in a very short time. Seems that sometimes there's also a steam engine train, judging by the sign on the rails.

To cross the river IJssel, you can take a ferry from Dieren. Not that it really leads to anything if you go from Dieren but it does result in a lovely drive through the countryside to for example a larger city called Zutphen.

This is nothing more than just a tower. At first I wondered if this was the place where my school used to be, because I knew it was behind a church. But later on I found my school after all.
The tower was built in the 1920s for a catholic church but the church was demolished in 1978. That was after I left Dieren so I should have known the church.
The tower won a conservation prize in 1985 because of its multifunctional use (there are some church offices in there and the foundation Dierense Toren).

Of course, when I was little, I never drove through Dieren. Always walked from home to school. That, and the fact that there were a lot of new buildings and it was nearly more than 25 years later, made it difficult to find my old primary school back.
It was then called De Sprang but now had a different name. It was still a protestant primary school though.
I remember having some trouble when I first arrived here. Due to the difference in seasons I had missed out a few months of 5th grade in New Zealand and also missed out a few months of the 6th grade in The Netherlands. And the school system was so different! I had a C- for my first test of Soviet geography. LOL!

Just after we arrived back from our years in New Zealand, we ended up in a house in this street for some six months. I went to school during that time. I remember my bedroom walls were painted in light blues and that of my parents in orange and purple!

Think Netherlands, think cycling. This is a veritable Dutch bicycle factory that has existed since 1892. Because I lived in Dieren, and because I support Dutch products, I have always owned a Gazelle...
Dieren will always be coupled with the Gazelle bicycle factory. The reason our family visited the town was rather different: a Star Trek convention that we combined with a visit to the TV Toys...
I spent here few weeks back in 86'... what a wonderful and peacful place it is. More coming soon...
