Museum Voorlinden with Jessy

-
The Voorlinden area
museum | restaurant | Dutch belt cows | hiking paths
But first lunch
Jessy ordered a brioche toast with eel. It was nice, but perhaps a bit scanty portion for that price (€9,25)?
We shared a portion of delicious goat cheese croquettes with fig dipping sauce. My lunch was a Dutch pancake. Which I thought it was a bit scanty too since this one-piece blank pancake cost €7,50.
Voorlinden Restaurant ⭐⭐⭐ (or should I give it a 2½ rating?)
Though the restaurant is really pretty.
Finally, the Museum!
And it`s such a treat to walk this Voorlinden area, from entrance to the restaurant to the museum itself.

This was a fun interactive piece of labyrinth art you can walk through. By Richard Serra.
For this colorful painting, Peter de Meyer has uses this amount of pots and glasses.
my favourite
Olafur Eliasson Retinal Flare Space
This piece got to be my favourite of all in the museum. It`s dynamic, colourful, mysterious, and dreamy. A beauty.
This is also a pretty piece. By Damein Hirst Hidden Secret Blossom.

Another fun art

See? It`s incomplete!
Time for a hike
forest > cows > dunes
Dutch Belt cows, stinking cute!
After the amazing museum tour, Jessy and I continued exploring the Voorlinden area. Our goal was to get to the dunes. That day I also wore my brand new pair of white Nike shoes. Whoopsie.
We found the dunes and we conquered! Though I had to hold Jessy`s hand because I didn`t want to fall and roll down the steep sandy hill...
Hi The Hague - Scheveningen.
Then it was time to go home. Eating kruidnoten while waiting for the bus.

Finished the day with good heaty Thai food from My Thai Son (sounds like Mike Tyson).

      It's a typical Dutch pancake :D and brioche is probably my favourite type of baked bread <3

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas!

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na een heerli

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
