About me
“Moin” and welcome to my homepage.
At this point I would like to introduce myself.
“Dat lüttje Wicht” (little girl) in the photo, with the slightly grumpy look, that’s me. The outward appearances of childhood have faded, but the look I give when I don't like something has remained. The same goes for the memories, stories, and images that have become intertwined with my life over the years. Some have made me laugh, others have made me reflect. Some have shaped me, others have surprised me—and there are a few stories I never would have expected to become part of my life’s journey.
My name is Hinderike Seewind, and I was born and raised in East Frisia. That region bordering the North Sea—where a fresh sea breeze is always blowing—forged a special bond between my heart and the ocean. Perhaps it was the stories told by my father, who sailed the high seas as a seaman on large herring luggers, or the songs my mother sang when she returned from her work mending nets.
In 2016, I left East Frisia to watch my grandchild grow up, moving to Lower Bavaria with my daughter. It was not an easy decision, as her life required special care and attention. After the initial excitement of a fresh start wore off, homesickness set in. I suddenly found myself missing things I had previously taken for granted; that was when I began writing down little stories in my native dialect, eventually giving rise to "van Wattlüü un Indioners!"
Today, I am back in Frisia, rediscovering my homeland. It is a truly special journey for me— one where I constantly discover new things, rediscover the old, and realize that sometimes it takes a bit of distance to recognize what truly matters.
If you would like to know a little more about me, feel free to join me for tea or accompany me on my journeys through space and time.
It’s wonderful to have you here!
Hinderike
