Re: 'new' in friesland
Hi, after 6 years in London doing the same as you, 'settling' in IJlst near Sneek. I'm Dutch but not Frisian so feel practically foreign . I'm living here with my (Frisian) husband and 9mth old daughter. Not exactly expat but missing everything British and always up for a coffee.

Re: 'new' in friesland
Great! And apologies for the delay, the e-mail notification ended up in the wrong folder.
What day/time do you prefer? I'm currently not working so can do daytime or evening. Although, daytime does include a 9 month old
Your profile is very basic, would you mind telling me a little bit about yourself? Makes it a lot easier to pick you out of the crowd, I'm not even sure if you are male or female
Thanks, looking forward,
Nicoline

Hi Inez,
That sounds like a plan! I know the place and their coffee is excellent!
The site administrator has removed your previous message containing your phonenumber but mine's 0616064485 and I will be at the croissanterie at 11am Thursday morning. I'll wear a beanie hat, haha it sounds like a movie plot!
Looking forward to meeting you,
Nicoline

Re: 'new' in friesland
Hi, Im sarah and soon to be moving to Friesland about a 30 minute bus ride from Sneek. Im leaving Manchester to be with my boyfriend who is frisian. Although I have formed friendships with his friends I would like to meet friends of my own as it can be isolating there at time when he is working so much. I have started to learn dutch and have been to Sneek a couple of times to the library. Im from manchester and have a good sense of humour. If you are still looking to meet with english people then please get back in touch. Hope its going well for you there and you are enjoying living in Sneek.

Hi Sarah,
My mob number is 'snipped' out for some reason. Will think of something else to get in touch with each other if you are still interested. Take care for now, Inez

Re: 'new' in friesland
Hi Inez, Of course Im still interested in meeting with you. Im sorry I have not got back to you sooner. I texted you before your number was 'snipped' did you receive it? I am here until the 25th as I decided to go back to manchester for both of my parents birthdays which are in one week. I am pretty much totally free until then to work around you if you have any free time this next week? I dont know sneek very well but I have been to the library alot. my email address is sezmo84 at hotmail dot com if you prefer to communicate by email as I am not sure how to send private messages on here.
