Sunday evening came to an end the emotional journey that started almost a year ago. According to us Yvon. While Elselien makes her own (hopefully less emotional) journey, I take over the BOD baton from her for once. Because of course we can’t let this reunion pass unnoticed.
JANINE (31), SHEEP FARMER
Let’s start right away with the surprise of the evening. Shepherdess Janine and Sander de Fries are still together! In love! Hand in hand they approached Yvon. Happy looks, declarations of love: everything you did not expect was there.
The run-up to this moment was of course something tricky. Sander was often found in the south after the city trip. The shepherdess could only tricky to handle. She broke up with the courtship† Difficult, difficult, difficult† Let that just be the word that does not appear in the dictionary of De Fries. He gave her the space she needed and five weeks later she was back on his doorstep. Because it was a bit boring without him among the sheep.
“Practice De Wilde Hengst with Hans, what can I do for you?” They could have been spared all this had they listened to Uncle Hans a little earlier. Amateur psychologist Boer Hans immediately saw where things went wrong with Janine: fear of commitment. The shepherdess could not deny that. But De Fries was not deterred by a panic attack or 25. With results. The flan is now ready for him every weekend at the sheep farm. Our Yvon is proud and rightly so.
EVERT (58), DAIRY FARMER
Four out of five farmers found love this season, a top harvest. It’s also between Maud and Evert fat at. The Drent and hammockMaud were for once wearing something different from their old work clothes. Before that, they first had to visit Maud’s sister, because she is now so established on the farm that she no longer has anything decent in the cupboard.
Maud is the farmer’s wife Evert has dreamed of all along. Fabric the windowsills, cut the beeper: Maud does it with love. So much love that people are already looking for a place for the hammock in Drenthe.
HANS (69), HORSE BREEDER
Every Friday evening Annette puts her car between the shovel and the tractor. She leaves the clothing store and is completely farmer’s wife Annette. Bringing a foal into the world with just the two of you? She no longer cares about that. Unfortunately she didn’t see a heart on the animal’s head (I thought it was a nice joke), but she is sure that she won the main prize with her Hans. He is so sweet to her. A well-oiled machine, Hans called their relationship. To stay in technical terms. Like us Yvon, we prefer to call it a fairy tale. Hansel has found his Gretel. And they lived happily ever after….
ROB (52), FRUIT GROWER
Without Wendy and without guitar, Rob reported to Yvon. They had all agreed so well together. He wouldn’t jumping on the other and with the code word cuckoo, Yvon might slow him down a bit. It was all to no avail. Rob went to the leftbut Wendy unfortunately to the right† The wow feeling was not there and never came.
De Gelderlander was the only one of the five selected farmers to go to the reunion alone. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out with Wendy, but the romantic has not lost his faith in love. There must be a woman who Rob & Roll can get you in the festive mood again? At least our Yvon doesn’t give up and gave the farmer a lifelong subscription Farmer seeks wife. Whoever writes a letter first gets a kiss.
JOUKE (31), DAIRY FARMER
Jouke didn’t like smelly vets, but farmers’ daughters do bring out the best in him. And his loving, understanding side. Yes, she really said it. Jouk turns out to be a true romantic who lights candles, makes coffee while you’re still in bed and leaves sweet notes. Who would have thought that?
Karlijn is his support and he is hers. One day – someday, not yet – one day she will be standing in his yard with her moving boxes and that already puts a big smile on his face. Jouke is happy and he shows it. If – ever, not yet – no BOD babies will come of this…
“And now: drink!” Yes, they are still farmers Yvon.
