Flenglish – Morning

In an attempt to learn more Flemish, I asked my in-laws to give me their favourite Flemish sayings and I would illustrate them as I go. It’s a sporadic project that I’m going to share with you as I go.

This is from my father-in-law, Michel:

“de ochtendstond heeft goud in de mond”

Flemish saying

“the morning has gold in its mouth”

translated Flemish saying

I love this saying – I’m thinking about the potential of each day, the ‘morning’ as an all-knowing god to which we are mere little beings in its universe, and the beauty of a sunrise.
