Contact via internet Chatting with his sister The new internet connection was of great value to both of us. Being away for eight weeks, we could still take part in all family affairs. A webcam made communication easy.
For Janwillem it was a mix of outdoor life, helping me, his own researh on the foxes and playing World of Warcraft.
