The dutch hatdesigner

Caroline de Roy van Zuydewijn

 and her husband the artist

Jozef Bloks visited in 2001

The Royal Ascot. 

Ten o'clock in the morning,

'dressed-up', in a slow train

filled up with very happy people,

all going from London to Ascot. 

Compliments

 and champagne

were passing all over.

Thousands of hats

were blinding our hats.

 Caroline was totaly over the moon.

May I take a picture of you?

You look stunning! 

Everybody posed

and

everybody took pictures.

Caroline gambled just like all

 the other English people on a

 horse and lost in a short time 

 some pounds of weight.

Intensed Caroline

watched the royal coaches,

with the Royal Family,

who slowly passed the Court.

A day w'll never forget!
