Spending time in the garden also gives you a holiday feeling.
The whole place to myself.
Enjoying lunch, croissant goat cheese and the sandwich richly filled with omelet tomato.
As fruit kiwi and with freshly squeezed orange juice.
Enjoying the silence, the sound of the birds, I doze off in REM sleep.
After ZENJEN-chi, a bit active and happily digging with my hands in the vegetable garden.
So nice, the fresh herbs and vegetables within reach.
A few days without vegetable garden attention means weeds.
Wiede wiede who doesn't know it? A little attention every day, is rewarded.
The result is amazing when the herbs and vegetables do well.
I get the vegetables that I don't have from the farmer and then make a detour.
Just like honey is healthy, I drive a few villages further to buy this.
Celebrating the annual get-together with friends tonight.
A kind of reunion. Seeing each other again, catching up, updating.
Under the guise of an ‘American party’, everyone brings a homemade dish.
The toast is always done with a refreshing dry cava.
Traditionally, I make a fruit salad and decorate the whole thing.
For me, it is always a fun anticipation in itself, with good music I float along.
This year our theme is ‘dressed in yellow’, the colour of the sun.
So lots of fun at the reunion. True friendship is a great asset.
The weeding is done and I enjoy a good glass of viognier.
In the meantime, I make BROWN BEAN COCONUT.
Tomorrow I will visit my friend Leonie, unfortunately she cannot be there.
I will bring this tongue-tingling BROWN BEAN COCONUT.
The dish is ready and it smells delicious.
After it has cooled down properly, I put it in the fridge for tomorrow.
In the meantime, the garden and the living room have been decorated in a theme atmosphere.
A warm welcome, feels like a warm bath.
I have time and after changing I feel fresh and fruity in JENs style.
The outside table is nicely decorated and looks inviting.
They will come in an hour. I am looking forward to it!
Everything looks sunny. A radiant and festive welcome.
