I must admit writing a new blogpost doesn’t come easily these last weeks. So I thought to share some musings that are wandering in my mind these past days. Maybe you sometimes have these kind of days too? Days, on which our mind is too full and we wished to get lost in this dreamy…
Perhaps you remember I graduated as herbalist last year. And next month, I’m going to give my first herbal workshop! I’m really excited about it! It’s a collaboration with ’t Schoon Gerief in Landen. A lovely store with retro decoration, organic soaps and skin care and products for a sustainable life. This store is a…
It’s a stormy and very windy March morning. A small piece of blue visible in the grey sky and a little glimpse of sunshine is getting through the clouds. Birds with spread wings are soaring on the wind. It forces me to go outside for a refreshing morning walk. Trees are bending as the strong…
This February month has been filled with exceptional sunny days and blue skies, cold mornings and springlike temperatures during the day. What a wonderful way to end the winter season (if one doesn’t think about the climate change by which this month presumably was affected). Having these kind of days makes every gardener longing to…
It’s a bright blue sky, the sunshine is warming my face, the birds are singing and nature is calling! We’ve been having springlike days the last week. It was such a delight after the long winter! This morning on my walk I noticed how the warmth and the sun had made a difference in nature…

This morning I wake up in a white wonderland! As we don’t often have snow in Belgium, it’s a real luxury. Everything is covered under a white blanket with rounded edges. I feel childlike excited when I see this white world! I couldn’t resist winter’s invitation to take a walk in this wonderland. Come, and…
White passing clouds against a blue sky, a fresh salty breeze, the wind blowing in your hair, your feet in the soft sand along the sea shore, the sound of rolling waves, a small perfect shell in your hand, grains of sand slipping through your fingers, … The sea is the perfect place to find…
As we’re approaching winter, I would like to share another herbal story, about sage this time. It’s one of my favourite winter herbs! I must admit, this hasn’t always been this way. For a long time I detested sage as its taste so easily dominates and was so bitter. But apparently my taste has quite…
It’s already December, the last month of this year. And it’s also the most festive month of the year for most people. I don’t know how you feel towards this Christmas period but I always have some kind of double feeling. I love the cosiness, the burning candles, nourishing winter food, decorated tables, the scent…
