With all the hustle and bustle of moving I never got around to officially announcing it on here, but a couple of months ago we bought our very own house! We'd been on the lookout for some time and then in March our eye fell on this charming house in a quiet little neighborhood in Oudenaarde, about a half an hour from our former apartment. As much as I loved living in Ghent, buying a house in the city was a thing we just couldn't afford so this felt like the right decision for us. Now I'm not gonna lie – it's taking some getting used to not living in the city anymore. Especially without a driver's license it's not so easy to go somewhere or even get to the mall.
However it has been lovely getting to know our new hometown and its hidden corners. This weekend we packed our lunch and went to explore a park nearby. It was such a peaceful spot with a large pond in the middle and a 19th century castle looking over it. Autumn also seemed to have found its way there. Some trees were already changing color and there were chestnuts and acorns scattered all about. It got me really excited for sweater weather and berets and boots and tights (God I love tights!). But for now I'm happy living out my summer dresses and throwing on comfy cardigans while waiting for my favorite season to come back in full swing.
