in the year 2022

Saturday 31st of December

On the last day of the year we're browsing through the precious memories we made together in 2022. Captured forever in 178 pages.

An annual photo book tradition since 2007.

Wishing you all an exciting 2023 and challenging new beginnings!

2022 in a nutshell on instagram

Annual photo book tradition since 2007.

After 72 analogue photo albums from 1986, digital photography took over.

We missed browsing through our photo albums and started to make one printed photo book every year. Thousands of photos to choose from and we reduced it to 170 full-page photos of 2021! You can 'browse' the book on my Instagram account.

What a year. It won't get any crazier. It started in january with Henks heart attack and 65 seconds without a heartbeat. Thereafter sometimes pulse 180 because of the excitement and beautiful and emotional moments.

We went to Amsterdam, Antwerp, Olhao, Aljezur, Vila do Bispo, Paris, Bari, Ostuni, Puglia, Marrakech and Barcelona. We enjoyed the days with our family, friends, new friendships and of course there was the birth of our grandson Liam-Novi in November.

Let's forget the 'shit' and only remember the good things of last year and face 2022 with hope, joy and new plans. Very much looking forward to 'normal life', freedom, family time, travel and love.

Now it's time to hit the play button for 2022!

Best wishes to you all have a great year!

retrospect

January - two days in Paris with my love, in honor of our 25th wedding aniversary.


February - having a drink at Vitrin in Antwerp, it's our tradition to celebrate the day we first met, on February 15th.


March - mid-month, preparing our party and workshops in spring and in the meantime inside it's getting greener by the day.

April - an unforgettable week in Marrakech with my loved ones and some friends. Instead of a grand wedding party, we chose something that is closer to us...


May - 18 days in Morocco, to host the 7th Cool Crochet workshop and the 1st Green Gardens workshop in and around Marrakech.


June - weekend in Domburg, our favorite beach with long rows of pastel colored beach huts along the coast.


July - for the third time to Marrakech, this time for an interior shoot at Chambres d'Amis, the riad of my friend Ank and green oasis basecamp during the travel workshops.


August - mini city break at the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam to celebrate my birthday.


September - roadtrip holiday in Portugal, en route from Olhao to Lagos to Southwest Alentejo to Lisbon.


October - back to Morocco for new adventures, whilst traveling with two great groups of the 8th Cool Crochet workshop and 2nd Green Gardens workshop


November - autumn walks in the woods


December - this year has flown by!

2017 was a very special year in many ways. Beautiful memories! I have a lot to be grateful for.

I wish you all the very best for 2018 and focus on the positives!
