Comfort spot FERM For everyone who longs for comfort Comfort, a beautiful and age-old word. For the confidence, even when things are difficult, that there will always be a tomorrow. Here you can plant comfort yourself, with flower bulbs full of resilience and hope. The promise of a new beginning. Together we give comfort a place. PLANT COMFORT This place is ours. Here we are forever the silent crackling in the beautiful morning light. The blossoming flower, an eternal wind. That only you look like this we don't have to explain to anyone. Silently we put our hands together as if by itself. See, you laugh because you know for sure: Here, is where we are together. This place is ours. Written by Jan Ducheyne (Party for Poetry) The COMFORT BIRD In this bird – lying away towards the warm south – one can, with a little imagination, recognize the following meanings as a symbol of the final farewell and the lasting memory: The picture with which the creation is attached to the oak (symbol of imperishability and immortality) has the shape of an elusive impressive cumulus cloud on the distant horizon. The bird lying away, which represents the (the) missed, is provided with 2 different chains: one in ordinary carbon steel and another in stainless steel or as they used to say in stainless steel. The carbon steel chain is interrupted, it can rust and disappear completely, which represents the transience of life, the ending of a certain period or situation. The other stainless steel chain is uninterrupted and represents the lasting, indestructible memory. The dimensions of the stainless steel chain evolve from heavy to light, and just as a long road to the horizon narrows, this represents the passing of time. Because the future in which one finds oneself is unpredictable, the bird does not have eyes. The wide-spread wings refer to the protective, purifying effect that remembering the past can bring (as in the saying: "under mother's wings"). Design and execution by Johan Vermeire, Oostwinkel. Made on the occasion of the opening of the place of comfort for Ferm, Oostwinkel, 2021.

There are 15 ponds in Het Leen, three of which are allowed to fish. The water from the ponds used to serve as firefighting water for ammunition depot fires. The ponds were created because earthen walls (merlons) were constructed around the ammunition depots to prevent further disaster in the event of an explosion.

A quiet walk to get to know Eeklo differently

A beautiful walk to get to know Eeklo differently

The digging of the Schipdonk Canal (1846-1860) between Deinze and Zeebrugge was, together with the digging of the Leopold Canal, one of the first major infrastructure works in the young Belgium. The flax industry around Kortrijk had caused the Leie to become heavily polluted. In order to prevent this polluted water from flowing through Ghent, a connection was dug between the Leie and the North Sea upstream of Ghent. This also gave more control over the water level of the Leie and prevented flooding in Ghent. The function as an additional waterway was also a handy bonus. From Zomergem, the canal runs in the bed of the Lieve (a much older canal) to Damme.
