Ours has set off with a wonderful start, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because our little shop is featured in the first edition of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Dutch magazine 'Brocante Special' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by the makers of Ariadne at Home </div>

(another well known magazine in the Netherlands)<br />
<br />
I felt so very honoured and the response have been overwhelming 💗<br />

When I share this post January is already over.<br />
Makes you realise even more to enjoy every day to the max.<br />
<br />
Last year I was forced to take a step down due to the condition of my eyes.<br />
After my last visit at the eye doctor this past month,<br />
I had to make the decision to quit my part time<br />
job at the hospital.<br />
Although my sight has improved, the remaining side effects will<br />
keep me from an eight hours day filled with computer work.<br />
<br />
But when one door closes another one opens ...<br />
It will give me time to give our <a href="https://www.thereedwarbler.com/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Webshop</span></i></a> my full attention<br />
and there are still plans to create a Holiday Let in our annexe.<br />
<br />
Last year I had some second thoughts about the whole idea because of my sight,<br />
but now feeling confident enough.<br />
The renovation has therefore been delayed, but there is no rush.<br />
Except for those lovely followers on here and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thereedwarbler/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Instagram</span></i></a><br />
who asked if it was already finished because they already fancied a stay 😊<br />
<br />
Apart of the stress of having to quit my job, January was a good month.<br />
I did a bit of pottering in the garden, and now in love with my kitchen view ...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First of all my apologies for neglecting my blog for such a long time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> In the meantime I've had the necessary eye surgery, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">with -besides some side effects which will hopefully be temporary- good results.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Although I'm still in the middle of my recovery, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I really felt the need to put a small post on here before another year is over.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The last few months I mainly spent at home and in my garden.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This past period has taught me even more how important my home is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and how it contributes to my well being.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has been a safe haven and embraced me when I couldn't go out that much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Due to my eye problems, our plans (and renovations) for a holiday let in our annexe were postponed, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">but hopefully will be continued next year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instead my husband full filled a longstanding wish of mine, restoring the -en suite- doors in our living room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But also built an alcove around the new stove in our kitchen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Not only the cottage gave us a wonderful week<br />
but also provided me to take some photos of the new <a href="https://www.thereedwarbler.com/product-category/hogben-pottery/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Hogben</span></i></a> stock<br />
we picked up during our stay which you can find on our <a href="https://www.thereedwarbler.com/shop/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">website</span></i></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In two weeks time we will leave for the Provence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to have some family quality time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Hopefully an eye operation will be on the cards when we return.<br />
Who knows, maybe next time I will be able to write a proper blog post again.<br />
<br />
Until then!<br />

Although it's nice when so many people like your photos, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they not always represent that precious personal memories, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or those little moments to treasure. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I finally got round to saw my own cutting flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt so inspired by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/abunchofwild/"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">Emma Connolly</span></i></a> and still picking flowers now, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can you believe it in December!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of the lovely bunches I picked at the end of July.</div>

It has been a good year and I consider myself very privileged with a lovely family<br />
and running a small business that I love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year's Christmas card was again a bit of a project,<br />
which got a bit out of hand in terms of time 🙈</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But in the end I delivered the last ones just in time at our neighbours yesterday evening<br />
and now the only thing that's left is to share my good wishes with you ....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite the feeling Summer had a revival this<br />
past week, Autumn has really made its appearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me the more reason to cosy up my home,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially my 'new corner' in our living room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now all our boys have flown the nest, a very large<br />
dining table wasn't necessary any more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least not all the time, so my husband made me a new one, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
keeping the large tabletop standby when they are all at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do love to make something new from an old piece of furniture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We already established that the top of our garden table had its<br />
best time, but the iron frame was still good enough as a base for a<br />
new smaller dining table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
We bought some scaffolding wooden boards and<br />
my husband made a new tabletop out of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He did exactly the same with the frame of our<br />
garden bench.<br />
With the two new dining chairs we also bought, all this<br />
gives our dining area a whole new atmosphere. <br />
<br />
I'm so very happy with the end result.<br />
Although I have a lovely working space upstairs, this new corner<br />
and my birthday present (a very fast laptop) makes that I hardly use it nowadays.<br />
This is now my favourite (working)spot!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The mirror behind the table is something I never get tired of but I've<br />
added hooks on it, to make room for some (autumnal) displays.<br />
At this point throwing all my good intentions to declutter overboard,<br />
but I just can't help myself.<br />

Just can't believe it's only a week ago we returned from our family holiday in the Provence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Despite all our good intentions to slow down after our return, this past week was a busy one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately some things can't be ignored (read the daytime job 😉) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But also busy with the pleasant ones, like our frequent visits to my dear mother-in-law</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and of course <a href="https://www.thereedwarbler.com/"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">the Webshop</span></i></a> 😊</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even during our break you've been so very generous with your orders, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
can't thank you enough for your constant support for our small business!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blogging about our holiday sure is a way to remember and document the lovely time we've had.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You must agree with me that we were so very lucky with the luxurious accommodation we stayed in,</div>

Being in the Provence, visiting a market is a real must (at least to me it is 😜)</div>

we continued our way to the village <a href="http://www.tourtour.org/page_en/1_bien.htm"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">Tourtour</span></i></a></div>
On our way me made two unexpected stops.<br />
First one was this wonderful cascade near the village <a href="http://www.beyond.fr/villages/sillanscascade.html"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">Sillans-la-Cascade</span></i></a><br />
we encountered along our way.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">I already shared this photo on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thereedwarbler/"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">Instagram</span></i></a> and there were a lot of requests</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"> to share the recipe, so here it is.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
This is what you need for the Coconut Cake:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
*For the Cake Base:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
- Sponge Flan Base 200gr</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
*For the filling:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 30 gram Cornflour</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 480 ml of Cream</div>
</div>
<div align="left">
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 3 Egg Yolks</div>

- 2 tablespoons Butter</div>
</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Put the 480 ml Cream in a saucepan and add the Cornflower. </div>
<div align="center">
Whisk until the Cornflower has completely disappeared. </div>
<div align="center">
Then whisk the Egg Yolks and sugar in its total through.</div>
<div align="center">
Put the fire on medium heat and bring to boil while constant stirring. </div>
<div align="center">
Once it boils, take it off the heat and stir in the Coconut and Butter. </div>
<div align="center">
Pour the mixture over the Cake Base, cover it with Cling Film<br />
and put in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*For the Topping:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 180 ml of Cream</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 3,5 tablespoons Sugar</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 1,5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 40 gram grated Coconut roasted</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whisk the 180ml Whipped Cream, 3,5 tablespoon Sugar and 1,5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract<br />
at medium speed and spread over the Cake.<br />
Sprinkle the grated Coconut over the Cake and after being in the refrigerator<br />
for at least two hours it's ready to serve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Cake can, provided it's covered, be kept for several days.<br />

This years escape was a much needed one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all the care and concern around my mother-in-law, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we both longed for the peace and tranquillity England always brings us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

At the beginning of this year I had subscribed to a monthly embroidery kit of <a href="http://www.nickifranklin.com/"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">the Stitchery</span></i></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the lovely Nicki. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly there hasn't been much time to finish even the one of January, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so this was the first thing to pack and a good excuse to take this lovely <a href="https://www.thereedwarbler.com/product/circular-woven-basket/"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">Basket</span></i></a> along with me </div>

It has been hard times for the birds in my garden. </div>

So the last days I've been very busy topping up feeders, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
putting out fresh water and providing shelter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily they still kept visiting my garden under these hard conditions.</div>

Nothing so cosy as doing some stitching by the fire.<br />
I've subscribed to <a href="http://www.nickifranklin.com/"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">The Stitchery</span></i></a>, an initiative of the lovely Nicki.<br />
Although I just started my January Kit, it's already so much fun.<br />
Each month you will receive an exclusive embroidery pattern with full instructions,<br />
the base linen on which to stitch and all of the threads required to complete the work.<br />
There will be suggestions for beginner stitches, depending on your ability and personal taste.<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;"> </span></div>

With the sun out again and higher temperatures,<br />
I felt like making something Spring to hang on my front door.<br />
I used the Wooden Star, made from branches from the tree in my garden, as base.<br />

I do love the change of seasons, especially now all the beauty that Autumn brings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having a walk in the woods, when days shorten and temperatures become crisp. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Admiring how the quiet green palette of summer foliage transforms into the vivid autumn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
palette of reds, oranges, golds, and browns before the leaves fall off the trees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And not to forget that enchanting autumn light ....</div>

Since we have been home for a couple of weeks now, it's high time for a post about our holiday in France.</div>

Luckily we already booked a room halfway our trip in <a href="http://uk.france.fr/en/information/dijon-0"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Dijon</span></i></a> - where</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we had a lovely wander to stretch our legs and my injured back had a good rest afterwards ....</div>

Inspired by the work of 16th-century architect Palladio,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this five-arched stone bridge was built in 1762.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although ornamental, the bridge was intended to look practical. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was designed to create an illusion that a river flows through the village and under the bridge.</div>

In the distance the Temple of Flora, dedicated to the Roman goddess of flowers and spring.<br />
This temple was
the first garden building erected by Henry Hoare II between 1744 and

Over the doorway the Latin inscription reads ‘Keep away, anyone

Henry asks you to enter his garden in the right

It was such a lovely step back in time. Although it's quite some time ago,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it brought back wonderful memories and can't wait to make some more.</div>

While I was writing this post I heard on the radio - that according to this <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/25/watching-garden-birds-good-mental-health-research-shows/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">study</span></i></a> - watching garden birds has a beneficial effect on your mental well being.<br />
It will be no surprise that I so agree with this ....<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a quick post before another year comes to an end, a very special one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On personal level it was a year full of wonderful holidays. Last Summer in <a href="http://thereedwarbler.blogspot.nl/2016/08/our-annual-escape-on-border-of-dorset.html"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Wiltshire</span></i></a> &</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But also business like, because starting our own <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Webshop</span></i></a> was stepping into a huge adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your response and support on this new venture was so heartwarming and so very appreciated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore the last part of 2016 was a very busy one, but I'm not complaining!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So having the last two weeks several days off from my daytime job was so very welcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was finally some spare time to do the things I love most,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
involving a lot of 'faffing' as the English like to call it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like making a wreath on my front door ....</div>
<br />

I've just returned from a lovely trip to England, and with a very special reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess the following photo says it all ....</div>

Forty years of friendship, isn't that special. So celebrations were in order and the best way for us to do so, was a trip to our beloved England.<br />
All excited we left by boat from Hoek van Holland to Harwich. There was a strong wind, but also a gorgeous sky.<br />
Like two teenagers we laughed a lot watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1473832/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Bridget Jones's Baby</span></i></a> , in what turned out to be a private cinema on the ferry, as we were the only one present.<br />
This made up for quite a stormy passage .... <br />

Time was going fast because the next day we already went to our next location, but with a nice stop on our way.<br />
You may already know I recently opened my own <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Webshop</span></i></a> and there was still one thing high on my list to add to our collection, the beautiful range of Jane Hogben Pottery!<br />
<br />
So I took the plunge and asked whether it was okay to visit and talk about the possibilities to cooperate.<br />
And that's how I arrived in " Hogben heaven" ....<br />

I know ... I've abandoned this place way too long, but all for a good reason. <br />
It's not that I haven't took any photos, but not the kind I usually share over here.<br />
<br />
The last couple of weeks my living room was turned up side down while being used as a 'photo studio'.<br />
All because of the fact that Mr. Reed Warbler and me are starting a new (ad)venture together.<br />
<br />
Our love for both Nature and Interior has taken shape in our own <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Webshop</span></i></a> and so very pleased I can finally share it with you ....<br />

As long as we're a couple, I'm the one with the creative ideas and so fortunate with my husband who brings them into reality.<br />
Therefore there will be, alongside <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/product-category/interior/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">New</span></i></a> and <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/product-category/vintage-books/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Vintage</span></i></a> items, also our own <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/product-category/hand-made-bespoke/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">The Reed Warbler</span></i></a> collection.<br />
<br />
Most of these items created by my husband like for instance this <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/product/bench-children/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Bench</span></i></a> for the little ones ....<br />

Although I knew it would be a lot of work 'building' a shop on line, it still took more time than I had expected.<br />
But is was so worth it, because I'm so very happy with the end result.<br />
<br />
There's one person in special to thank for, because without him there wouldn't be a shop at all, and that is our youngest son.<br />
Not only he's responsible for the design and everything that comes with it, but also his enthusiasm and confidence has kept me going when doubting sometimes.<br />
All this makes this new venture even more special and counting my blessings even more.<br />
<br />
We still have quite a few new products to be added over the next months, so I hope you will stay tuned as we will be adding more stock along the way. <br />
<br />
As we're already halfway November it's all about cosy up at home and preparing for Christmas.<br />
So very chuffed with one of our seasonal items, our own produced <a href="http://www.thereedwarbler.com/product/hanging-christmas-advent-tree/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Hanging Christmas (Advent) Tree</span></i></a> ....<br />

Another destination I already decided at home I really wanted to visit was <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/monks-house"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Monk's House</span></i></a> .<br />
Not only was I impressed by the beautiful garden but also the atmosphere as if the <a href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Woolf"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Woolf's</span></i></a> still live there.<br />
I would love to share all the beauty seen at this house and garden in another blog post with you.<br />

Following so much people on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thereedwarbler/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Instagram</span></i></a> and sharing my travels daily with them resulted in many tips for the best spots to visit.<br />
Like having lunch at this lovely place, <a href="http://www.flintowlbakery.com/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Flint Owl Bakery</span></i></a> ....<br />

After my question on Instagram where to go for my search for another piece of <a href="http://www.janehogbenterracotta.co.uk/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Hogben Pottery</span></i></a> , I was sent to a store in the village <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranleigh"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">Cranleigh</span></i></a> .<br />
How much fun my visit to this gorgeous shop <a href="http://oneforty.co.uk/"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">One Forty</span></i></a> turned out to be. Not only I bought a lovely jug, but more important meeting the lovely Steph, who I follow on Instagram for a long time now, in person.<br />
It was such a wonderful surprise to meet this lovely lady and also how she arranged the 'VIP treatment' to have a first look at the just arrived stock that didn't even made it to the store yet.<br />
How I love this little community in my phone ....<br />

Steph also told me I should really visit a village near, called <a href="http://www.sheredelight.com/" style="color: #b45f06; font-style: italic;">Shere</a> thinking I would really like it. She was so right, it was a shere delight ....<br />

We spend the whole day in these beautiful surroundings and chatted through the day with only one interruption, visiting the nice <a href="http://www.theetuineemnes.nl/de-winkel.html"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">shop</span></i></a> also on the premises.<br />
<br />
And now it's back to the order of the day and slowly getting ready for our annual escape to my beloved England.<br />
In two weeks time we'll be on our way and I just can't wait to be reunited with my second homeland.<br />
<br />
Happy Friday, have a lovely weekend!<br />

With the large selection of flowers this season it's so easy to create a spring scene at home, even in my kitchen with my favourite spring flower <a href="http://www.thegardenhelper.com/ranunculus.html"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">ranunculus</span></em></a> ....<br />

Still so very happy with my little green house. As you can read <a href="http://thereedwarbler.blogspot.nl/2015/06/my-little-outdoors-sanctuary.html"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">here</span></i></a> the assembly of it was quite a task but so worthwhile ....<br />

But for now I'm enjoying the <a href="http://www.sundaygardener.co.uk/how_to_grow_wisteria.html"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">wisteria</span></em></a> on our back patio, if only you could smell the scent ....<br />

In an attempt to capture the fairytale atmosphere of the <a href="http://thereedwarbler.blogspot.nl/2014/05/home-again-leaving-all-this-beauty.html"><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">English bluebell woods</span></i></a> just a little bit at home, I planted some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyacinthoides_hispanica"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">Spanish bluebell</span></em></a> bulbs and were so pleased when they actually popped up.<br />
Although I think they're very pretty and would love to have them spread around my garden, it's not exactly the same one I admired during our holiday two years ago.<br />
Not being able to find this particular one in a garden center at home gives me the perfect excuse to pay a visit to a local garden center during our upcoming visit to England, I'm not complaining! <br />
But for now I'm very happy with these ....<br />

So my next bunch of flowers will not only consist of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthriscus_sylvestris"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">cow parsley</span></em></a> but just like this beautiful illustration in <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Country-Diary-Edwardian-Lady/dp/1846660157"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady</span></em></a> with some bluebell too ....<br />
