My grand father build the lion statue for the "lakenhal musea" .. not joking .

[@patrickstoute4085]

Some history behind it. Our fam came from France originally. Called hardy/lardi. But moved to Leiden/leyden in the early 1600th era. Some got to Australia & the UK. Our surnames changed through the decades. It was the moment of the French Revolution and trading era . Original place of my origin; Valenciennes. Always being the type,using their hands&effort to build a better life for themselves & others. Sadly , the latest gen. forgot the roots , but i didnt. That's why im glad my grandfather made this statue. He knew the importance. Im proud to be a part of that side. Humble & honest. Still trying to live my life the same way they did. Not easy these days tbh 😅..

[@patrickstoute4085]
