Say cheese!

I want to introduce my new friend Fleur!

My new friend: Fleur

Fleur is a typical Dutch girl wearing wooden shoes and a costume. This week she will start a new exciting adventure: she will emigrate to Asia! Yes indeed, she is going to start a new life in Asia. She already packed her bags and chose her favorite cheese so she is ready to go! :)

She will miss Holland: sandwiches with cheese, Dutch candies, the wind mills and all the other beautiful Dutch landscapes.

If you ever get the change to visit Holland, I hope you also get the opportunity to visit Keukenhof. Look how amazing these flowers and colours are!

Why is Lotte going to Asia? Well....let me explain. This week I will go on vacation for 6 weeks (!! Yes….6 weeks!! And I have the intention to enjoy every day of it!) to Asia. I'm invited to stay some days at the place of a very nice woman. As a gift for her hospitality and kindness I made Lotte for her as a souvenir/reminder from Holland. So we will fly together to Asia but after 6 weeks I will leave her behind.

Although saying goodbye will be hard, I’m sure she will get a very good life with her new family! :)

Walking in the clouds

This morning I woke up early and went outside for a little stroll. It was very misty and it felt like I was walking in the clouds. It looked wonderful!

And then I saw this flower....it looks like ice or glass. So fragile and translucent.

Two weeks ago, the same flower looked like a little bright sun.

Summertime!

Yesterday was the start of summertime in Holland. So Saturday night at 12 it was time to set the clock an hour forwards.  And this weekend we had wonderful weather to match the summertime! You can see it's spring because my garden is filled with wonderful colours :)
