House
We live in The Netherlands, in a house completely fenced-in, enabling us to withdraw from the world when we feel like it. It also means, our dog can run free on our land safely. The location looks rural, the forests are about two minutes away, however, the city is accessible within 15 minutes. We can seek the noise whenever we want ; -)
Vision of Life
We bought this house, plus large piece of land, in 2022 and moved to it in August of the same year. Our forever home, transforming it to meet our needs, wishes and hobbies. Per example; we would like to live a quality, sustainable life and (to us reasonable) self-sufficient. Combining ancient wisdom and modern technology, to live tiny in a big house.
Solar panels already on the roof and enough space for a vegetable plus herb garden were some of the main reasons we bought this property. On the wish list, not a requirement and thus a wonderful surprise to find our forever home with a pool already there.
We have, well, my hubby has updated the heating system in a way the water will be heated by a heat-pump, plus a system that filters the water through sand and salt. Thanks to those solar panels, the cost to do so is manageable.
In the (near) future we plan to start collecting rain in big reservoirs and use this, per example, to flush the toilet.
Nature
Gardening (bamboo, ornamental grasses, fruit trees, herbs and vegetables) is a hobby of mine. I’ve started to create a vegetable garden from scratch. The greenhouse we moved with us and I already had a fruitful season with lots of tomatoes : -)
Cooking is another hobby and I hope to start using homegrown vegetables and herbs soon again.
At 21st century, real natural food is still the best choice for us humans and regularly, I try all kind of new ‘things’.
Animal friends
Both my husband and I grew up with various furry friends. Over the years we had the privilege to enjoy the company of furry beautiful souls (Jourdy, Nikki and Joy) in our own care, which will always have a place in our hearts. For those who know me over fifteen years; yes, my two cats remain there too 😉
March 2020, we adopted a tiny furry friend, Kenzo. Unfortunately, April 2023 we had to let him go. Another beautiful soul forever in our hearts.
October 2019 we welcomed a new furry friend into our life. Meet Danja 🙂
In future, we might add more dogs and also chickens to our family : -)
