Autumn!

Hello,

So a couple of days ago we had to change back to wintertime again. Daylight becomes a rarer thing whilst darkness takes over more and more time a day. Most days I have to leave the house in the dark and come back home in the dark as well. This pretty much sucks because whenever daylight brightens up the world for the few hours it gets, I am just sitting inside listening to a teacher's (wise) words and the talking and whispering of my classmates and other people that roam the halls of the school I attend. So whenever I have a day off and it's not raining I like to get outside, go on a walk or just enjoy the presence of daylight. 

Back to autumn. There are various reasons why I love autumn so much:

• Candles.
• The right time and temperature for wearing a onesie.
• Fairy lights.
• Autumn/winter room make-over.
• Tea & Hot chocolate.
• Leaves changing colours and making the world seem like a very warm coloured, nice and cosy place.
•  Fires in fireplaces.
• Cosy socks.
• Sweater Weather.

There are many more reasons why I love autumn so much but those were lost inside the continuous information flow that runs through my brain.

During spring and summer my room has had a sea-ish theme. I've chosen for this theme because ever since I was a little kid I've had this weird obsession with the sea and everything that is related to it. Maybe this is the explanation for me spending so much time at the river that flows in front of my house. 
Just the calming sounds of waves crashing against the rocks or on the sand. The wind blowing through my hair.
However the summer has passed I let the sea theme remain in my room with a few autumn / wintery touches like candles, fairy lights and some warm autumny colours:

The pictures above are just a few of the autumn/ wintery touches I added to my room and more have to follow (like a little Christmas tree) but I will leave those until winter has arrived. 

Oh and be prepared.... As Halloween is approaching so are the spooky, halloweeny activities I have done this year :)))

Lots of love,

Let me introduce myself.

Hello!

As this is my first entry ever I guess an introduction would be the only right thing. Won't it? Well there we go then. I am a girl as you may have already guessed and I'm Dutch. Holland is a beautiful country with it's windmills, wooden shoes (which nobody really wears any more), tulips, canals and awful big amount of bicycles terrorising the public roads and sometimes even pavements. Yes I genuinely enjoy living in this small characteristic country. 

You won't find me too often in the big cities our country holds as my home is in one of the smaller villages. This village is so small it's literally never mentioned on a map. Despite it being so unknown I find it lovely to live here. It's just your average peaceful, boring, nothing ever happens here town. We don't even have a supermarket so yeah. 

That's all there is to my town. You still want to know more about me? Well let's continue then. My name is Renée (I'm not really called ThatDutchGirl96, shocker right?) and I'm currently in the first year of my nursing course. Once I graduate I would love to work with children and abroad. Hobbies? Yes I have some of those too, they are what makes life enjoyable aren't they?! My hobbies include writing, reading (English and Dutch books), watching a lot of TV-shows and sometimes movies and photography. Besides those I also like to go on long walks, learn lots of new things, sometimes hang out with friends, travelling by train and going on adventures in general. 

With my blog I hope to  create a bit of online space where I can share my thoughts, adventures, struggles, dilemma's and (fun) anecdotes with the world. Mostly I hope I can create an interactive online community where everyone feels accepted and loved.

That's enough about me don't you think. So what about you? Let me know in the comments!

See you next time.
