Moved!

April 28, 2018 By Marit 8 Comments

It has been two months since I wrote on my blog that I was about to move… two months in which my beloved and I worked hard to get our new place ready. Two months in which we packed our stuff and one day at the end of March we moved houses.

In April, our days were filled with unpacking and cleaning. Every little item that came out of a box was cleaned and found it’s place in our new home. We are not finished yet but we already unpacked A LOT!

 

My new atelier isn’t completely put in order yet but the computer is connected to the internet so I’m back online, HI THERE!

And here’s a photo I took standing on the balcony on the first morning I woke up in the new home – early morning sun shining on ‘De Lange Jan’ (this church/tower is called “Long John”)

Today, it’s a few weeks later than I took that photo, only the top of the tower is visible ’cause the tree got leaves… yep, it’s Spring, we no longer live in a large, cold, impersonal, greay concrete apartment block but in a nice little appartment in the centre of the old, medieval city centre and I can’t get that grin from my face!

Hope to talk to you again soon, have a great weekend.

    Fijn dat je er weer bent. Dat uitzicht is een hele grote verbetering. Hoop dat de rest van jullie huis ook heel fijn warm en gezellig is.
    Heel veel woonplezier

    Prachtig uitzicht. Ik heb 34 jaar geleden in de Gortstraat gewoond.
    Verhuisd voor de liefde naar Noord Holland. Lang heimwee gehad.

    What a quaint view, I can almost breath the fresh air that I see surrounded by the old town.

    Long John – now I saw some accommodation with that name recently but it must have been elsewhere as I was looking at Amersfoort an that area.
    Well done you on finding such a lovely new home – hope you two will be veryk happy there.
    Hugs, Neet xx
