Introduction
On a sign of an old bakery was once written: 
¨Bread is life, pastry the sunny side of it¨. 
Arnhem has chosen for the sunny side: it came up with ¨Arnhems meisje¨
(Arnhem´s girl) - a well-known biscuit: puff-pastry with sugar on top. 
In Arnhem a special flour is for sale: ¨miser flour¨. It is a mixture of
leftover wheat + rye + maize. This mixture flour is being ground in a watermill
dating back from 1470. After many years of not being used they started re-using
it in 1985. Apart from this mill there is a windmill dating from 1849. 
Both mills grind many varieties of corn. Yet there isn't anything like
¨regional Arnhems bread¨. 
In view of ¨French bread¨ we will have a closer look at the expression ¨Bread
is life, pastry the sunny side of it¨. 
History
  
    On the basis of 3 family photos
      (which state my commitment) dating 1952, 1972 and 2002 we will show you
      some social developments in the Netherlands[ ]. 
      Between 1950 and 1960 only 57% of the Dutch went on holiday, most of them
      stayed in the Netherlands. Those who went abroad took pictures of things
      they could not by in their own country.
