This day has been just as perfect as Midsummer should be, with nice weather, delicious food and good company. I've been cooking a lot, making a lot of flower arrangements for the house, arrived to the meadow just when the dancing around the Maypole ended, and had a lovely dinner with my family. Now the dinner is finished and everyone is watching the game between Germany and Greece. We had a lot of different types of herring, homemade bread, meatballs, spare ribs, Polish sausages, salmon aperitifs and much, much more!
As a dessert, I made a beautiful strawberry cake with strawberries, whipped cream, and lime curd. I really love baking so I had a lot of fun making and decorating it!
I also found out just tonight that me and my friend got the apartment that we wanted, so I'm really happy now. This Midsummer couldn't have been better.

That is a very beautiful flower decoration. And grats on getting the apartment. :)
ReplyDeleteI see that this article is posted a few weeks ago and honestly Alice right now after being one year in the Hague what is your opinion about it , I mean with everything including school, life and other stuff. The reason why I'm asking is that I also spent one year (2011-2012) studying in the Hague University. Unfortunately I didn't graduate because I was unable to get the credits I needed. Anyways I'm curious because I just want to know is it worth it to go back there, in the Hague.
ReplyDeleteP.S. What is your study programme ? :)
After living here one year I can honestly say that it has become my home and I love it! I'm studying ICM at THU. Sorry to hear about your credits, hope everything works out for you :)
