happy new year

We spent a wonderful evening with friends and said "hello" to 2012! It was snowing, but later, the snow transformed to rain, heavy rain...It is far too mild for the season. Climate change is already on its way...

So I will try to save energy and live more environmentally concious.  A n d  I will try to live in a more  s i m p l e   way. I want to declutter my kitchen, my studio, my life. With many things, everything is so complicated. A simple activity can be a chore...

Everytime I spend some days in a holiday home, I enjoy the minimalist equipment. Couldn't I achieve that at home, too?

wood stove

We got a wood stove and we love it. You can cook meanwhile you are heating your home or vice versa. It gives you that kind of "archaic" feeling our ancestors must have experienced. It feels good.

a new home

We have moved into a new home. We left the suburbs and arrived at the countryside. Life is much easier here; at least I f e e l that it is, and that's the important thing. Only some steps away the quiet woods. fresh air, dark, silent nights. Nice neighbours, a stack of fire wood beside the front door, a wood stove, candle light. What more shall I wish?
