Just over the border

May received a gift in the mail, so nice that I immediately snatched it from her hands (one must remain polite) to flip through it. It's great to receive, to have, and – okay then – also to give away. But do make sure you have a copy on your shelf first.

It bears the title ‘Little Escapes Just Over The Border’ and is of course from Barts Boekje. But seriously, how nice is that? I prefer to go away for a weekend once a month, because a weekend always feels like a week of vacation, only my bank account isn’t quite okay with that yet. One condition for a successful weekend is: you must know how to find the very best addresses. Piece of cake now, because I flipped through it and then saw a hotel in Bloemendaal that I want to go to immediately, a cottage in the Ardennes that made my voice crack a bit, and I also got a bunch of tips to eat even more deliciously. Now I just have to be patient again, because there is a whole chapter about ‘dogs welcome’, so May is on the lookout for a getaway with her husband, girls, and fresh dog Monti. I get it.
