Wilma Belt, 67, is closing De Hazelaar, her natural-drying business on Julianastraat in Alphen aan den Rijn, after 16 years. She could not find a successor and wants to spend more time with her family after years of hard work.

Belt said saying goodbye to her customers was especially difficult. They included people with serious illnesses, such as cancer, as well as customers with gum problems.
