Our World Tuesday, ABC Wednesday, B for Bathmen

The church of Bathmen dates from the early 14th century

Bathmen is a town in the eastern Netherlands. The municipality was merged with her larger neighbour of Deventer on 1. January 2005 as part of a national effort to reduce bureaucracy in the country.

The vicarage, where my sister and her family,

 lived  for many years

I often stay in Bathmen to visit my sister.
Bathmen has got a long history . Old archaeologic finds date from 6000 B.C.. Because of its high situation surrounded by swampy area, it is thought that it has been inhabitated permanently from at least 1300 B.C..

The province of Overijssel

Bathmen is a village in the north-east of the Netherlands, and although it is not far from where I live, the surroundings are quite different with woodland and more farms than we have.

The pub, restaurant, café

In the middle of the village there is the pub frequented by the local young

people in weekends.

Nice to walk there in summer
