christmas 2020

For an extra special and surprising christmas brunch, we've set the table at 'le petit restaurant' in the living room.

Change of scenery creates a different atmosphere. The illusion of being a guest elsewhere, sitting at the table somewhere else, anywhere other than the kitchen table. Using different tableware, that we have not used for a long time.

Try to think positively and creatively despite all the restrictions. A lot is still possible and it felt extra festive to have breakfast at home this morning.

Happy Holidays to you all!

merry christmas

Merry Christmas to all of you!
We are having a drink in the front yard. Cheers!

december decoration

It has been freezing cold the first days of December.

That's the reason we've moved our backyard palm inwards.
I don't know whether the plant will remain in the living room, or we will move it to the attic for wintering.
For now it's a kind of pre-xmas-tree.

I wish you all a very pleasant 'Sinterklaas pakjesavond' tonight and an enjoyable weekend!

return of the r

Hello September! The return of the R.
When I was a little girl, the return of the R in the month meant;
don't go outside barefoot and take some extra vitamin.

Saved me a trip to the bottle bank and with some iron wire, glass jars turn into brilliant outdoor lights.

[One more dark day to join the give away!]

daylight saving time (or summertime) is over
[the extra hour of sleep was wonderful]
candlelight time has begun
and i must admit
the living illuminated by candlelight
also has its charms
