On a road trip for the garden
Last Tuesday I went on a little road trip to collect information for the design of my future garden. I visited Esther and Arjan from Eetbaargoed.nl, went to look in the showroom at Tuinkassenwinkel.nl and made a stop by my future neighborhood, as I was in the area anyway.

Chin up and shoulders straight
Hello dear readers. It has been a while since I have shared a lot with you. December was a bit of a gloomy period for me. Of course, it is also the darkest month of the year, so that fits nicely. And 2020 was not an easy year for anyone. Not even for me. But […]

No to fences, yes to privacy
One of the reasons people want to live in a Tiny House is to be part of a community. A neighbourhood in which you have a pleasant balance between privacy and sharing.

Hella the Tiny House cat
Last week my cat Hella celebrated her twelfth birthday. Twelve already! I picked up Hella from the animal shelter when she was eighteen months old, so she has been with me for over ten years.
