Friar Venantius

It started raining when I reached the city centre of Heerlen, close to the office and by the time I was finished it really was pouring with rain. The possibility to cycle to the station and take the train was a very inviting one. However, once on the road and after going into the trouble with putting on my rainsuit, it almost stopped raining. Almost.

As usual I've made a detour and lunched on a bench next to the statue on the blip.
Meet friar Venantius.
Friar Venantius was a creation of Wim Sonneveld ( 1932-1974) a Dutch cultural icon.
