The wisteria is in full bloom in The Hague, the first events have been held and the terraces are filling up. A great start to a new month! What is the weather forecast in June? Jaco van Wezel of WeerOnline tells more about it.

Provide a forecast for a whole month remains difficult, but Jaco says that the prospects are not bad. Jaco: “The first half of June will probably be dry and sunny. Showers hardly reach The Hague and the sun is shining brightly. So great weather! On days when the wind blows more from the east, it can easily 25 until 25 degrees.” That sounds like perfect temperatures for a drink on the Grote Markt!
Jaco does say that there is a big caveat to this: it is not yet clear from which direction the wind will blow, while this does determine the temperature. Jaco: “A fresh north wind or a warm east wind saves a coat!”
Rain in June
So if you want to have a drink on the Grote Markt, it’s best to do so do in early June. In mid-June the weather changes according to Jaco. “As it looks now, The Hague will have to deal with more showers in the second half of June. It is still difficult to estimate how much it will rain.”
Uv radiation in The Hague
Although it may rain in The Hague, according to Jaco, there is high UV radiation for almost the entire month. So if you are going to take a dip at Madestein, walk through the Scheveningse Bosjes or do something else fun, then according to Jaco you should always bring a tube of sunscreen!

On the corner of the Loosduinsekade and the Volendamlaan you will find Vermolen’s Snackcar. For forty years you can go there for fries, snacks and in the autumn also for oliebollen. Fred Steenwijk (48) has been in the cart. And there is news: “We are now building a new snack kiosk.”

Fred has been in years in Vermolen’s Snackcar. In 2002 he took over the business from her parents together with his wife Rilana. “As a young man I never thought I would have my own snack bar,” says Fred. “I was trained as a car mechanic and I used to work with cars. Then I met Rilana. She has been in the snack car from an early age. When her father wanted to retire, he asked us to take over the business. I first worked in his business for a year to see if it suits me. I’ve been here ever since.”
For forty years
Rilana’s father placed his snack car on the Loosduinsekade forty years ago and the cart never left after that. “My father-in-law comes from a fairground family and was at the fair with slot machines,” says Fred. “In 1024 that didn’t go well anymore, so he went looking for something else. Then he bought the snack car. We recently dismantled the snack car for our new building. Over the years, everything has been built on it, such as a kitchen and an awning. But, inside was still a real cart with a wheeled base.”
A new kiosk
On Fred and Rilana now have a new kiosk built from stone and wood at the place of the snack car. For fries and snacks, their customers can now go to the oliebollen stall that they have temporarily converted into a snack car. “The oliebollen stand contains everything we need to bake and sell snacks. This way we can stay open while the stall is being renovated.”

The customers
Fred thinks the best thing about working in the snack car is the customers he meets. “We are here on the Loosduinsekade between several districts. My clients are a reflection of society as a whole in The Hague. We have regular customers from the area, but people who are waiting for the tram also often come to get fries. The fries are our best-selling snack after all. In addition, many customers come for our homemade peanut sauce. That’s a family recipe from my father-in-law that we still use.”
The Future
Calling Fred and Rilana their company is now Fred Steenwijk and Co., because their two teenage sons and teenage daughter also help in the business. “Whether they will ever take over the kiosk, I don’t know yet,” says Fred. “It is especially important that they choose their own path and finish school. With my new kiosk we can move forward ourselves. I will stay here for at least another ten years so that we can celebrate our fiftieth anniversary.”
In his fungal nail practice, Peter Boeters has been seeing people walk in full of shame for years – “It’s really bad…” – and confidently go back to go outside. Business is going so well that the innovative products and treatment he developed with his team are now also available for pedicures at home and abroad.
Especially now that the warmer days are coming again and the slippers are allowed to wear again, you often notice that one fungal nail or fungal nail. “Perhaps you have tried a remedy from the drugstore, most likely without result,” says Peter. “With Tiptoe we have combined a super effective treatment plan with patented, self-developed products. After a trajectory at our practice in Capelle or De Lier, you finally really get rid of it and the complaints come back less quickly.”
Body’s own substance
The active substance in Tiptoe’s products – peptide – is not only effective, but also natural, explains Peter. “It is in everyone’s mouth and eyes and protects you against viruses and bacteria. The great thing about the fact that it is a body’s own substance is that it can be used safely by anyone from the age of three. The microbiologist who discovered that this substance kills fungi and yeasts on the nail is involved in Tiptoe. Together we have developed four effective products”.
Success stories from people who have been treated by Peter and his team you can read here. Would you rather see the result with your own eyes? Then view the before-and-after photos.

More and more practitioners in the Netherlands and abroad
In the near future there will be throughout the Netherlands and abroad, more and more pedicures are following who can perform the Tiptoe treatment after a short course and where you can purchase the products for home. A distinction is made between salons that use Tiptoe products and real Tiptoe salons, where – in more serious cases – treatments are also carried out with special lamps or, for example, the milling of the nails.

“I am in 1024 came to live in this house and already live here 33 years with my partner Jos. We enjoy living here very much. I was born in Rijswijk but I do feel like a real Hagenees. I bought the house on paper, because it was a project that still had to be built. It was designed by architect Charles Vandenhove, a Belgian architect who designed many houses in the district. It is a complex with 13 apartments and a small and close association of owners.”

Focused on the future
“When I saw the brochure, the house immediately appealed to me. When I bought it I was also focused on the future. It is a ground floor apartment and completely on the ground floor with also the bedroom on the ground floor, which is ideal for when I get older. In addition, it is very conveniently located near the hospital and public transport. I can easily reach the tram, Central Station or Holland Spoor station. This is also useful if I can no longer drive a car later, for example. I want to live here all my life.”
“I would call my style grandma and grandpa style! A lot of furniture is from Manou and I have in the years ‘150 purchased. So they have been around for many years. The cabinets in the living room are ideal because you can use them in all directions, you can put them upside down or move elements.”
“I’ve done a lot of things in the neighborhood and The Hague . For example, with great enthusiasm I helped organize the canal party and set up Jazz in de Gracht, together with my daughter Wanda. In addition, I started the Ooievaart together with others and I am a guide at the Guild. At that time it was not well known that The Hague also has beautiful canals. A unique way to view the city!”
“I also contributed to a traffic circulation plan for this area. I think it is important to maintain the atmosphere and to keep the canal quiet. Now my house is a bit in a traffic-calmed street and I like that.”

Unfortunately, not everyone in The Hague can take care of an animal. That’s why there are quite a few dogs and cats in the shelter. Every week we introduce a dog or cat to you in the hope that the animal will find a new home. This week: hangover Moos.

Hello, me am Moss. I’m three. In August last year I moved into the shelter, of course not voluntarily but ‘shit happens’. I got a place in a nice big room with all of my fellow sufferers, excuse me, fellow sufferers.
All alone
We took it in turns to get out of our booth to stretch our legs. Or to get some fresh air in the outdoor kennel. Well, then I went wild, I was even between the ceiling. And that while I was much fatter then than now. But somehow it went wrong, because I couldn’t resist peeing against the walls of the cubicle. Day in day out. Well, then you go through the mill. Urine test and diet kibble. Control on control. Since it didn’t stop and there was no medical cause, I was moved to another room, all by myself, so I couldn’t be bothered by other cats either. The “wild” pee got better, but I felt so damn alone.
Two toilets
People kept passing by with four-legged yapping colleagues, but they also kept walking. And I meow: ‘I want attention, I want to play!’ Soon another room became available, with a great outside and I like it more here. I have two toilets, one closed and one large open, both with grit, which I like best. Oh yes, there is also one outside, I am really well looked after by my lovely staff. And I haven’t done ‘wild pee’ for a long time.

Have fun
I’m a really nice guy, they call that a happy egg here. My black and white fur has a beautiful shine and I have a handsome muzzle. What makes me so happy is fun and people who want to play with me. With fishing rods and mice, it can’t be crazy enough for me. At least I have energy for ten. Are you also looking for sparkle in your life, do you really have the time to play with me for a long time and don’t leave me alone, then I might become your nicest home. Please come and meet us soon, send an email to and don’t forget your phone number!

Two Gardens
A front garden, a back garden, a balcony and a roof terrace. That’s all the outdoor amenities this home has to offer. In the front garden there is a set of chairs and a small table. There is also enough space in the backyard to sit. There is a shed, a canopy that provides shade and a dining table. There is a balcony on the first floor and the roof terrace can be accessed from a door in the attic. If you like sitting outside, this is the place to be.

Lots of space
Another thing that stands out is the amount of space this house has. The living room is elongated and is separated by en-suite sliding doors. Beyond is the dining room and kitchen. The kitchen is black and white, has all built-in appliances and there are many cupboards.
Reading a book by the fireplace
When it is cold outside you can warm up in this house by the fireplace in the living room . Coming home on a winter’s day, choosing a book from the bookcase and then reading in front of the fireplace. Doesn’t that sound delicious?
