This last month and so has been quite chaotic. We are living in the Netherlands since the 22nd of July.
So, the story, my husband was offered a position in the Netherlands (NL) in the end of April and we had to decide very quickly what to do since his new position was starting in the beginning of August. It was not a hard decision as we have long dreamed of living/settling here. Our type of job is very unstable and at this stage in our lives we wanted a place where we could finally live without the feeling that our condition was temporary, if you know what I mean.
We decided to move and for that I had to quite my job which is kind of risky because I still had one more year in my contract but I wasn't really happy with my work situation.
So here I am, unemployed since the end of August...I have been quite busy as our new apartment in NL needed lets say a lot of love...
Given our situation we had to rent the apartment from the UK which is not the best but we had no other option. Fortunately, one of our Dutch friends could check it for us and report back. The report was not very promising " the ceiling looks like its about to fall... (...)..the floor needs glue (its laminate which FIY, if you are thinking of coming to NL be aware that most of the apartments to rent don't come with floor in the sense of wood/laminate or carpet, its cement)..the kitchen is small".
Unfortunately, we could not find better and in the end, the ceilings and the floor were not as bad although the kitchen is indeed small and we had to paint the whole apartment because electric blue..
is not a neutral colour!
More updates and craft activities soon!
Have a lovely day
