Spring is here! 🌼 Moments of a quiet life in a small village in the Netherlands

Some glimpses of my life from the past few months.

In April, I spent a week in Utrecht looking after my aunt's house while she was away. I spent a beautiful misty morning at Amelisweerd, a forest and estate close to where she lives.

This beautiful estate lies on the edge of Utrecht, adorned with centuries-old beech trees and the babbling river “Kromme Rijn”. A green haven loved by everyone who wants to escape the noise of the city.

It was such a nice moment to spend some time in Utrecht, just in time to witness spring make everything start to blossom and bloom.

When I returned home again, David and I worked on transforming our backyard, building wooden raised beds with a mesh cover in an attempt to keep the insane amounts of slugs away from our vegetables - without much success so far. I don't know how it is where you live, but we've never had this many slugs in our garden before.

Luckily since we put nematodes in the soil last week, we got things a bit more under control. I can't wait to show you what our garden will look like.

And I'm taking you out on a little bicycle trip to some neighbouring villages on my little island, for some very Dutch scenes. Just some daily life moments and scenes that caught my eye.

I hope this brings some calm and beauty. Thank you for watching!
