Wow. My third Hedgefairy anniversary! I think of a blog as a very interesting project. Not only can I use it to show the world who I am – or who I’d like to be -, but also is it fascinating how it changes and evolves over the years, together with its writer. Sometimes I [...]

My holiday were divided in three parts: I spent Christmas Eve down at my grandmother’s place together with my grand-aunt and my mother having rather usual and not so very festive dinner, on 25th I had Yule Breakfast with my mother after which we went for our traditional walk, which was a little more like [...]

I solemnly vow to deck the halls and be jolly, To party like I never partied before, To dress and feel as festive as possible, Not to be quiet and demure, To scare away the demons and hardships my family had to endure, To troll my carols loud and clear. I solemnly vow to celebrate [...]

My room is pretty small. And I know this. Nevertheless, as soon as the bookstore across the street gets out the boxes and boxes of really old books, I’m there, ready to clutter my chamber even more. These are the beauties I found today: Moerikes Werke (The Works of Eduard Mörike, 1906) Geschichte der Englischen [...]

As we were taking our old stuff to the flea market my mother told me to get another box full of china and other dinnerware from my grandmother’s sister. We couldn’t find everything a new home, but my great-aunt told us to keep as much as we wanted. And now I’ve got some now dishes! [...]

Have a tune to wake you that makes your feet dance. If my waking noise was the horrible beep I always hear from Bambi’s and Satyr’s room, I would be very well versed in hitting the “sleep” button, too. Instead I’ve got The Pumpkin’s Fancy (it’s the part in the middle) by Dutch folk band [...]
