Pieces

Nim has broken my Jonsberg vase but there is a Dutch saying: shards bring luck :)

Enjoy your weekend or holidays!

Shelves

Bengals love to climb!

Already we placed several small shelves so Nim can reach the top of the cabinets.

I asked my friends on facebook to help me out with a couple of white birch trees :)

Now we're waiting for a sign so we can fit some flour-to-ceiling trees for Nim.

Christmas Decoration

With Nim around..... a beautiful christmas tree with glass ornaments is just no option.

These houses from basichus are a beautiful alternative.

Now we'll have to find us a tree :)

And Again.....

Sourdough!

Good Start

 Fresh biological sourdough.......... for me a really good start for the day!

Healing Hedge

Finally we layed our first 7 meters of hedge today!

About 10-15 years ago we got interested in hedge laying.

It's a skill still practised in UK today.

We bought our plants for a mixed hedge row 5 years ago.

We wanted to plant these at the end of our backyard but we needed some extra time.

For the time being we planted them, quite cramped, in a temporarily spot.

Since two years the plants are planted in their final spot, growing higher and higher.

So we were in desperate need of some serious hedge laying ;)

We decided we wanted to do this job by ourselves but we realised we needed some practice first.

Today we started our course at (for sale) Buitenplaats de Bonenburg in Heerde.

According to our instructor in the UK they understand the "healing qualities" of hedge laying.

Every team (of two people) had to work his way through 7 meters of pricking Hawthorn hedge.

I assisted the kenderman with laying and weaving while he was doing the tough bit.
We had a great time, enjoyed our good company and loved the result!
