My dear CADS, How are you all? Walking back from the gym this morning in the winter sunshine, I had a little more zing in my step with the feeling that spring might be near. I know in this part of Europe it can all change in a heartbeat, but I loved that feeling of...

My dear CADS, How are you all? This month saw us finally having several consecutive days of sunshine in Amsterdam. I hope you were able to enjoy the surprise! Ironically, I was on vacation in Spain at the time, where it was cooler than in the NL. So my roof terrace in...

My dear CADS, How are you all? I hope you have enjoyed a lovely summer despite the rather changeable weather – it’s never been particularly chilly, but so far in August I have only enjoyed 2 evenings on my roof terrace with my much-loved G&Ts, which is a good...

My dear CADS, How are you all? Hopefully you are comfortable in the heat. I am someone that really loves the sunshine and heat, so to be honest I am enjoying this warm weather, but I am also quite conflicted. I have just heard on the news that June is already the...
