… since that last blog post. Time to get back into the fun – and I can’t wait!
This summer was spent in comfort and relaxation, a lot of it in and around the house, as everyone had left Houten, leaving behind a totally calm and quiet village, with lots of really nice summer days. As usual, when things are well, time passes quickly…
From a nice bike-visit to around Zwolle, to a very pleasant stay in Copenhagen with a trip to the splendid Louisiana Museum, we had a delightfully “slow” summer for a change.
I spent days on end reading (eReader/iPad) and also had a great time at the OHM2013 hacker event. Made me feel old and young at the same time… I suppose that’s good :)

Lots of fun and ideas to try out. It’s a charming mix between exploring original new tastes and playing tricks with the senses. It’s also called food hacking, which could explain why this topic came up at OHM2013 (alongside activism, banking, and fablabs).
A summer of contrasts… from a Hanseatic city to modern gastronomic creativity!
