About me:
What's a drummer to do if not to drum? So, well, I'm drumming, in my spare time. Singing, on the side. Gardening, when the weather allows. Cooking, with passion, everyday. Working, for a living. Looking for friends who don't mind my drumming (on table tops, boxes, bottles, foreheads, anything that can be drummed upon).
These above are my hobbies. Real occupation is husband and father. That's what counts the most.
Oh, and my head is in the clouds, so take a seat on the magical carpet if you wanna join me!
Famous last words: Don't - buy - my - pets !

About you:
Anyone with a good sense of humor, creative passions, a love of nature and plants, lust for life and its simple pleasures, and a taste for conversations. Beer, wine, whysky, elaborate food, the Middle Ages, the (historic) Celts, the Little Folk, Fairies and their Kindred (legendary or modern, Seelie or Unseelie), are all topics I can rant upon for hours on end. So bring 'em on.
Nederlandstalig welkom, but I will reply in english as my Dutch is very poor. Francophones bienvenus.

About folklore in Belgium: Flanders and Wallonia alike are regions rich in lore and legend. I'll try and present some of the most prominent characters in the Belgian traditions. Let's start with the little folk of the hills and vales of Wallonia. The Sotais (Sotés, Sotrés...): Diminutive versions of the leprechaun of Ireland, and of a much more secretive nature, the Sotais live in the caves of Condroz and the valley of the Ourthe. They avoid being seen and come out very rarely, and only at night, so their appearance is uncertain, but they probably look like most of the other cousins of the dwarvenfolk. They are extremely proficient in the crafting of shoes, cookware and small furniture. People used to leave their old pairs of shoes, pierced kettles, unstable stools... along with fresh bread, pies, fruit, honey, cream, or gold... as payment, in the entrance of the caves. The next morning, the wares left behind were returned craftily repaired, often with embellishments (the Sotais are extremely proud of their art), and the food or money was gone. Woe be the cheap individual who would dare leave less than fresh stuff as payment for the work to be done. Not only will he never get his objects back, but he will be plagued with poorly soled shoes, easily broken chinaware and seating too frail to bear the weight of a newborn, for the rest of his life, unless he makes due amends. The Sotais are otherwise good natured, and are known to have helped poor families by leaving portions of their immense wealth in the shoes or clogs that were brought to them for the nth time, showing that their owners could ill afford to buy new ones.
