Peter, what a nice discovery!!!

You must know, I live about 15 km to the NNE of Dingstede in the city of
Steenwijk!
A pitty it is dark already, otherwise I would visit Dingstede right now.
Sunday I will take the family for a car-sight-seeing-ride. For you to guess
where we will go. ;-)

Dingstede formerly belonged to Meppel. Meppel still has a school called
Dingstede and a road called Dingstedepad.

A little more info (Dutch) on:
