Sun, Sea and Salty air

 

 

Hi everyone,

After a delightful week at the seaside and a few relaxing days at home, I feel happy being back again. It's amazing what a bit of sun, sea and salty air can do for you :-) My head is clear once more, the 'hurried pace' of busy city left me, and I am full of ideas. I even managed to read a book or two. How I missed it!

We spend a week in a beautifully renovated old farmhouse in Zeeuws Vlaanderen, the lowest island in the province of Zeeland, which is situated in the south west of our country, close to the Belgian border.

The house is surrounded by wide open fields. The only thing you can hear is the sound of the wind and the voices of people working on the land. Now and then a seagull passes and makes screeching noises. 

We cycled along the Westerschelde, had dinner at BAZ, a lovely beach club in Breskens with amazing views and spend a few hours window shopping and soaking in the atmosphere in Knokke. Off course we ate a big plate of mussels and French fries. A dish you simply have to try when you are at the Dutch or Belgian seaside :-)!

Next time I will show you the old farmhouse we stayed in.

Have your summer holiday's already started? Will you be staying at home or going abroad? Wishing you all a good time!

Happy weekend! I am off to the garden soon to make everything ready for an afternoon tea.

Love,

Madelief x
