Whiling away the hours





The season is here to stay and our big desire to chill out at 
the summer house comes finally true. We are struggling to get 
all bad thoughts out of the head, following a slower gear and 
just clearing the mind of all that madness we all witness nowadays 
around the world. What’s happening out there has somehow 
affected our mood and everything could upset us is listed off. 







Where have gone all those days of carefree travels of yore?
We have been thinking a lot about a holiday abroad but we decided 
not to move for the moment. The second house can host all our 
dreams of peace and serenity and two getaways in Greece are 
already planned. We are desperately craving some slowing 
down and nothing more, so I’ll be off from blogging for awhile,
hope you don't mind too much!
















As a farewell, here are some snippets of our life in the 
country home where we are whiling away the summer 
hours surrounded by our beautiful garden and nature 
experiencing true, genuine country living.


Enjoy your vacations to the fullest whatever you do. 
I hope you spend them happily accompanied by your beloved ones. 
Have fun ,come back safe and rejuvenated!

  3. I think we are all starting to feel a bit punch drunk. I would like to be in Greece now, actually, and I hope you enjoy your summer home and get some peace and quiet.

  11. I agree with Ada, with all this at your doorstep, I can see why you'd never leave. We've found that about our Stone House on the Hill as well -- with so much beauty and peace there, why would we want to go in search of it? Happy summer dear friend. Maybe we will meet this fall???

  12. Dit is ook een fantastisch huis om vakantie te vieren!
    Je weet zoveel sfeer om je heen te maken, je foto's zijn prachtig!
    Een heerlijke sfeer om tot rustte komen, en dat is het belangrijkste van vakantie, even weg van de waan van de dag. En als je dan zo'n heerlijk huis hebt staan....dan hoe je niet perse ver weg.
    Geniet van een heerlijke vakantie, Olympia!

    Liefs, Gerry

  17. Olympia, your pictures always touch my heart. I love that aqua colored wall with the plates and the pink blossom trees and the gorgeous flowers and the fruit pie! Have a restful time away from blogging, and I noticed your pictures are a bit bigger. I am wondering what setting you used?

    Enjoy the rest of the summer days. I'm just getting ready for Jess' wedding. It's very soon. :)

    love, ~Sheri
