Hoe kwam Wervik aan zijn naam?

Wat betekent die naam ‘Viroviacum’? Waar en hoe en wanneer is de naam van Wervik ontstaan? Lokaal vind ik niets. Gissingen en niet veel meer. De zaak houden me dagen bezig. Dagen aan een stuk, komt er geen letter op papier. Geen gebrek aan kattenbelletjes. Briefjes en nota’s stapelen zich van langs om meer op rond mijn pc’s en op mijn bureau. Ik heb natuurlijk een belangrijke streep voor op de…

WIM DELVOYE (Wervik 1965 - livesand works in Brighton) SIX IRONINGBOARDS. 1990

On this day in 1917 a shot grazed The Red Baron's head at Wervicq

it gave him headache's afterwards. One wonders if this wound played a role in his demise a year later.

Wervik/Wervicq straddles the French/Belgian border. MvR was cared for in the Sint-Niklaas hospital in Kortrijk (Courtrai). The hospital no longer exists.

Read his own account of how he survived being hit to the head in plain flight.

X-Ray and Anatomical Stained Glass Windows by Artist Wim Delvoye

Wim Delvoye (born 1965 in Wervik, West Flanders) is a Belgian neo-conceptual artist known for his inventive and often shocking projects. Much of his work is focused on the body. He repeatedly links the attractive with the repulsive, creating work that holds within it inherent contradictions – one does not know whether to stare, be seduced, or to look away.[according to whom?] As the critic Robert Enright wrote in the art magazine Border Crossings, "Delvoye is involved in a way of making art that reorients our understanding of how beauty can be created". Wim Delvoye has an eclectic oeuvre, exposing his interest in a range of themes, from bodily function, and scatology to the function of art in the current market economy, and numerous subjects in between. He lives and works in Brighton, UK.

De boom van de vrijheid

De boom van de vrijheid

9 november 1792. De boom van de vrijheid werd zowel aan Franse als aan Vlaamse zijde geplant en nog diezelfde avond moesten de burgers aan hun ramen en deuren het licht laten branden. De 13de stonden er opnieuw feestelijkheden op het programma. De geestelijken werden vermaand om het Te Deum te zingen, samen met al de muzikanten voor de pers op de grote markt (onze boom van de vrijheid). De…

De Wervikse Steenakker

Er gaan eeuwen overheen vooraleer Wervik zijn definitieve naam zal krijgen. Ondertussen zijn Wervy, Wervii, Wervi, Werny, Werni aan de beurt en die namen zullen stilaan plaats maken voor Wervick, Werwick, Wervick, Wervicq en uiteindelijk dus Wervik. J. Roelandt wijdt in de Biekorf van 1971 een interessant artikel aan de toestand van de Wervikse heerlijkheden. Hij beschrijft de toestand van de…

Avoiding Antwerp or Through Belgium in a long weekend.

15th May to 7th June

 We finally said goodbye to Sneek and beautiful Friesland on 15th May after taking on 500 litres of diesel. Thanks to Vladimir Putin diesel was twice the price of last year. Dictators, when are they going to learn?

Our route south took us through Enkhuizen, an unexpectedly touristic Volendam and down to Amsterdam where we bought solar panels and put the last remaining mast down. 

Our Amsterdam highlight was the humbling of Scotty from Marketing. It was even reported by the Dutch media at our Sixhaven marina. It was a happy result despite being denied our voting rights as well as our democracy sausage.

We continued south down the choppy motorway that is the Amsterdam-Rhine canal to unload excess boat things at the ‘Vinkerveen’ boat-parts shop and out onto the Lek, the Waal and finally the Maas, all rivers of the Rhine delta exiting The Netherlands. 

Mixing it with other sport boats in the Gorinchem sluis.  

We stopped at lovely Willemstad where sheep were gainfully employed at keeping the grass down.

The ‘Maurtisz Huis Museum’, Willemstad, won our inaugural award for the worst/best ‘Mannequins in a Museum 2022’. 

The long armed smoker was a strong contender, as was the scary school teacher but outstanding in this category was the maid posing as the local Kardashian.

We will do almost anything to avoid motoring through Antwerp (and Bruxelles for that matter) so we took a new route out of The Netherlands to arrive in Ternuezen where the big ships roam. The wake from the first one took us by surprise and threw poor Le Flâneur about quite a bit but we were ready for the rest of them.

Mixing it with four of the big barges in the final Dutch lock. 

The Netherlands and Belgium merged together without any obvious change so we barely knew when we had crossed the border. We only spent 4 nights in Belgium as there were few places to moor for plaicansier/sportboots like us. 

Our Belgium highlight was meeting up with Di and Graeme with their friend Peter on the good ship ‘Opdreef’ in the boat slum of Wervik, Belgium.

Next stop: France!
