every day is a new day

december 2023 - january 2024

from the bottom up:

Last day of the year. Reading to Liam in the attic from Minne & Pippa's children's books (i know them by heart).

And also on the very last evening of 2023, browsing through our amazing photo yearbook together. 🍀 A year full of beautiful moments, travels, highlights, love and precious memories.

More grateful than ever, we can live in freedom, in a lovely house, close to our children and grandson, we can make plans for the new year and have dreams.
Wishing everyone the very best for 2024. Enjoy life even more! above all the little things, not tomorrow but now.

On new years day we went to Amsterdam to celebrate my friend Ank's birthday party.

Today on my day off I took a long bath. The lemon tree is wintering in the bathroom and is in full bloom, so while bathing i was surrounded by my favorite fragrance of lemon blossom.

I'm not really into New Year's resolutions, but more into 'Every day is a new day!', like the bold & bright tear-off calendar by Dutch graphic designer Karel Martens. For each day of the year, Martens has created a unique arrangement, originally constructed using his signature method of printing letterpress monoprints from found metal forms, and then digitized to comprise 365 compositions in total.
