this sunny start of spring... what an energy boost!

summer vibes

Wednesday 27th of July

A lovely summer day with auntie Ank & her dachshund Billie.

After lunch we went with the orange Mini Cooper to the countryside.

We made a beautiful walk in the Biesbosch and ended up on the waterfront at De Zuileshoeve, where you imagine yourself in France, chilling in the hammock under the trees.

We had lots of fun and adventures.

Ank brought the cutest presents for Liam-Novi (and for me a very funny hand-painted sign from Marrakech)

It was great to meet again!

in the countryside

Wednesday 18th of May.

On this sunny morning we went with Liam to De Zuileshoeve, a rural and magical place outside town, recently created by our friends Hans & Lia Hilkmann.

Hidden among the greenery of De Biesbosch National Park, a unique tidal river delta. Land of willow forests, islands and creeks. A dynamic and adventurous natural and recreational area.

We had coffee, chocolate cake, some drinks and a bottle of milk on the terrace and we were lucky to meet the shepherd that came over with his flock so they could graze in the orchard. So there I stood with Liam-Novi on my arm in the middle of all the sheep and it almost felt like I was in the countryside somewhere in Morocco.

Restaurant and B&B de Zuileshoeve is located on the waterfront in an old barn that has been restored and transformed into a bed & breakfast with four rooms with a view. It's is all about peace, nature and hospitality and a perfect stopover during a walk or bike ride through the area. You can enjoy a drink or lunch on the terrace or in the restaurant.

If you're ever happen to be in the area of Dordrecht, it's a must and I can assure you it feels like instant vacation.
