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 dogs can run free on our land safely. The location looks rural, the forests are about 2 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. Hopefully our forever home, which we’ll be able to transform to meet our 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 😉
Solar panels already on the roof and a pellet-stove to warm the house was also one of the reasons we bought this property. Meanwhile, we’ve decided to go a slightly different route and the pellet-stove we will replace for another sustainable, self-sufficient heating system. As soon as we figured it out exactly, I will update this page.
On the wish list, not a requirement and thus a wonderful surprise to find our forever home with a pool already there. The plan is to turn it into an ecological swimming pool : -)
Nature
Gardening (bamboo, ornamental grasses, fruit trees and vegetables) is a hobby of mine, in addition to blogging. Will have to create a vegetable garden from scratch and will publish photos as soon as I have something to show.
Cooking is another hobby and I hope to start using homegrown vegetables and herbs soon again. Winter around the corner, it has to wait till next spring 😉
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 three 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 😉
October 2019 we welcomed a new furry friend into our life. Meet Danja 🙂
March 2020, we adopted a tiny furry friend and thus now our second dog: Kenzo 🙂
In future, we might add more dogs and also chickens to our family : -)

Your home is so beautiful! I love Joy! What a lovely dog. I’d love to hear more about your country. I’ve enjoyed the pictures you’ve posted. I’m happy we follow each other. All the best to you! Koko
Hi dear Koko 🙂
Thank you for the kind words.
Technically, it isn’t my country 😉 Originally, I am from The Netherlands and due to my husbands work, we live in Germany for 4 years now.
Happy about our connection too! Big hug, XxX
Ahhh The Netherlands! Still very cool! Tell us more…! 😉
I regularly share updates at the website 😉
What would you like to know? I will add it in next week’s update!
Anything! Traveling through someone else’s eyes for now. Haha…One day hopefully I will get to see things for myself. How is life there? Would you go back? Garden? How’s the country as a whole? What’s your favorite thing you do when living there? Foods? Haha…there’s so much! 🙂
Ok, noted hahaha
I will soon create a post about The Netherlands versus Germany, differences, similarities…good idea too?
Sounds great! 🙂
