Happy Liberation Day!

Happy Liberation Day Dutchies! This year celebrating our freedom has become even more important than ever. The war in Ukraine made us all realise that freedom can't be taken for granted. I am very grateful for my freedom; we are forever in debt with those who fought for us and gave their lives for us. Thank you resistance fighters and veterans from Canada, USA, UK and Poland!

King's Day 2022

On the 27th of April the Dutch celebrate King's Day, the birthday of King Willem Alexander of The Netherlands. In 2020 and 2021 almost all parties, festivals and celebrations were canceled due to Covid-19 (besides a few dull online parties). But in 2022, after two long years, we could finally celebrate again! 

"Koningsdag" is celebrated everywhere in The Netherlands, from small villages to big towns, from the North to the South, but it is especially one huge party in Amsterdam, with over one million visitors (in one day)!! If you ever have the chance, you should check it out. The canals are flooded with small boats with party people, all dressed in orange. There's music and people dancing everywhere.

This year I was in The Hague for King's Day, at Denneweg, Lange Voorhout, Oude Molstraat, Molenstraat and Prinsestraat and it was great. It was a little chilly, but Thank God the sun was shining. To me it felt like even more people than usual were dressed in orange from head to toe (so was I). Everybody had longed for this.... and boy, did it turn out well!!

My dress is from H&M, bag from Cano Colombia, shoes from Comme il faut.
