We have a cute couple of new inhabitants in our garden. They fit in this box on my bike… a little guess?!?!? Some days ago we finally bought chickens! The girls could each choose a chicken they like so now we have a brown and a black one in the new chicken coop. Our feathery…
Last weekend I’ve been travelling north, to the Netherlands for a weekend retreat. On this dark and windy autumn Friday evening I arrived at an old priory where the retreat was hold. It’s situated in a former cloister, surrounded by a beautiful park with ancient trees. They recently had to cut a tree down of 275…
“The kind of life that makes one feel empty and shallow and superficial, that makes one dread to read and dread to think, can’t be good for one, can it? It can’t be the kind of life one was meant to live.” Willa Cather How true is this quote! So please let us…
