Happy (4th of) July!

Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate and for those who don't, happy July!
Half of 2016 has already passed, hopefully all of the bad news for the year is behind us (one can dream, right?). The world is a madhouse lately, trying to look on the bright side is essential for (mental) survival, in my opinion.

All we can do is be peaceful, be kind, be calm and carry on.

Hello May

Hello May, I am glad you're here! April was a crazy month, full with unwanted, unpleasant 'surprises' so I hope, I know (thinking positive here) that this month will turn out better!
Furniture projects have been on a halt for a while but we are planning on picking it up this month.

Luckily between all the mess we have our Sunday's escapes to the beach which helps to unwind a little. Also with this lovely weather I did some garden work, will show that soon. Making some sad looking parts of the garden a bit more joyful which is a challenge with 9 doggies who love to dig up freshly planted things :)

Besides driftwood, shells, urchins and stone we also find a selection of curiosities each time we go to the beach. You won't believe how many crab legs we have, we even made some necklaces with them.

The road to and from the beach are through mountains, forests and villages, with the changing seasons there is always something new to see, like this amazing tree.
