Halloween and Pie: Great Weekend Combo I just had my experience this weekend at a first attempt at Halloween. I say attempt because that was really all it was! In the Netherlands, we do not have a tradition of Halloween, but as all things Americans it is catching on slowly now! As I am a bit too old to trick or treat and as my pneumonia still hasn't left me capable of partying I decided to do the thing I deemed myself capable of: some pumpkin art! It took all of my patience…

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society As I love movies with a good story and historical stories, it was not a difficult choice to go and watch The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It might be a title that doesn't roll of the tongue easily, but the movie more than makes up for it!

If It Ain't Dutch... So as some of you may know I live in the Netherlands, country of tulips, clogs, windmills, weed and I think I have ran out of stereotypes to describe my country now. You might get the impression now that I live in perfect tulip land, but I am afraid that there are some things to improve on my small little country. So here I give you, three things to improve on my country. And finally I shall treat you to an artist impression of my ultimate Netherlands!…

Sunday Roast The weekend is of course the perfect time to spend cooking. Not the stress of every day and more time to make a nice meal. A tradition that we took from our time living in the UK was making a roast on Sunday. A roast can be anything really but the main parts are: a nice piece of meat from the oven, some roasted potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and of course, vegetables. Oh and gravy of course! Making the Roast The easy part is the potatoes and carrots: I boil them…

If You Could Relive a Weekend Someone asked me this week what weekend would I re-do if I had a time machine and I could go back in time. I didn't have to think for long. This is what I would do: Step Into My Time-travel Machine We are transporting ourselves back to the winter of 2018. I had just met a very cute boy through a mutual friend. Only downside: I lived in the Netherlands and he lived in the UK. But when this cute boy send me a message to ask me out on a date I…

Inspiring Each Other to Save Our World I would love to inspire the leaders of this world to make this planet last, change the way we pollute it now and make it a place future generations can thrive in! **My Vision** Wouldn't it be amazing if we could all live on this planet in a sustainable way? Sharing it with animals, people, plants in a way that we don't fight with each other over space? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could live on our planet and also have our children…

Review: BlacKkKlansman, or How an African American Man Infiltrated the KKK We decided to spend the Saturday evening inside, under a blanket and with a movie. My eye was caught by BlacKkKlansman because it promised a true story of an African American cop infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan witht he help of his Jewish colleague back in the 1970s. Well if that doesn't sound intriguing then I don't know what does. The Story The story is set in Colorado Springs, a town in the US where…

How Lockdown Made Me Love Christmas Again Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to the end of this year with the holidays fast approaching. I had a bit of a shock when I saw what the contest would be this week, because... I am not the biggest fan of Christmas. Though that did change last year in the lockdown, so I will tell you about my very very new Christmas tradition! **Why I am a bit of a Grinch** So people usually get a bit upset when I tell them I am not much…
