| What emotions do you experience when you think about downsizing? | We had three gardens during time. First one in Bremen (northern Germany) was an allotment where we did a lot with permaculture based on the ideas of Bill Mollison, the second one was around a wooden chalet where we had the most wonderful time ever and the third one was behind the house we rented, where we lived and I worked. We had a Flower of Life in the terrace stones, a sprinkling water and many of the Bach flower remedy plants. Extremely joyful in the spring, summer and autumn. But after 2008 times became hard and we were not able to pay the enormous rent anymore, plus my back pain made it impossible to garden furthermore… When we downsized I missed our little paradise and (most of all in the summer) and yes - I still miss it! Thank God we have kept the photo’s so when we miss the garden too much, we watch the photos and take a walk or visit friends 😉🍀 | ||||||||||

| Complete this phrase: “Spring is _.” | the most wonderful time of the year for me! I LOVE the smell of fresh green, the singing birds early in the morning, the crocuses, the tulips 💐 the optimism of the promise - knowing all year is yet to come, Kings (birth)Day (27th of April), Liberation Day (5th of May) and the Happiness when the Sun 🌞 is shining 😍 | ||||||||||
