    For Severine, everything started with depression-inducing stress in her childhood. Gradually, she climbed out of the valley. She learned to handle herself skilfully. Supported by family, she was later able to live alone and independently.

    As a child, Severien loved to draw. Actually, she wanted to go to art school but everyone advised her against it. Yet the creative microbe never went away. Hence, she joined the art studio 'Ardéfoo'. Art has always helped her, she could indulge in it....

The Treaty of Utrecht (1713) annexed the castellania Belle (now Bailleul Fr.) and the castellania Cassel to the French crown. The inhabitants of the present-day Heuvellandse villages of Dranouter, Nieuwkerke and Westouter thus became French subjects in one fell swoop. But in two stages, 1769 and 1780, they...
