Wow....wat een super layout! Ondanks dat het toch een donker tintje heeft...door de hints of color schijnt de hoop erdoorheen ! Love it!
Fijn dat er bij jullie hoop is...ik moet zeggen dat bij mij de hoop elke dag minder word hier in Nederland. Vooral door de opmerkingen bij nieuwsartikelen...mensen hebben geen zin meer om zich aan de maatregelen te houden (wat hier ook te zien is aan de cijfers!) en ze vinden dat de risico-gevallen zich maar moeten afzonderen (uh, wat denk je dat ik al een jaar doe ?!?!?!). Ik begin er nu echt depressief van te worden want bij mij is de hoop langszaam aan het wegebben. En niet door corona...maar vooral door het gedrag van de mensen die het allemaal maar onzin vinden. Door die mensen zal ik nog langer tot mijn huis veroordeeld zijn...en het trieste is dat dat ze niks uitmaakt. Zolang zij maar weer gewoon kunnen leven. De verdeeldheid in Nederland is zo groot dat het echt eng is.

Dank je wel, Biancka.
Ja, dat is hier helaas ook wel hoor. Maar ik denk niet in die mate als het in Nederland het geval is. Ook hier krijg je veel gemengde reacties op nieuwsartikelen, maar dan vooral in de zin van veel kritiek op politici en virologen. Mensen willen hier op vakantie gaan, willen de restaurants weer open, willen de scholen weer open voor iedereen, etc...
Afgelopen week was het krokusvakantie hier in Belgie (1 weekje vakantie). Wij wilden zaterdag of zondag een dag naar zee, maar 's morgens vroeg al kwamen er berichten van overvolle treinen en gigantische drukte aan de kust. We zijn dan maar thuis gebleven. Ik snap niet dat mensen dan nog naar zee vertrekken. Om half 3 in de namiddag werd er dan eindelijk opgeroepen om niet meer naar de kust te komen.
Maar ook beelden op tv van overvolle straten en domeinen in Gent... Ik zou niet blijven zitten op een bankje in een overvol park, ik zou maken dat ik weg was!
Ik snap je reactie heel goed!! Door zo'n mensen raakt het probleem nooit opgelost. Ik heb het de laatste weken ook moeilijk gehad met de hele situatie (het binnen zitten, het nergens naartoe kunnen gaan, geen vrijheid, sombere berichten), maar het mooie weer maakt dat ik me wel terug iets beter voel.

Well, I don't know all of what Biancka said...but I bet I agree with her! lol
This is terrific! Love all the different artsy wings and butterflies. The touch of blue is lovely and that trailing vine is perfect.
Yay for positive news!

@Charlene: Biancka said she loves my layout, but doesn't see the future so bright. In the Netherlands the situation is worse and people are done with all the rules. They just do what they want and they don't care about anyone else but themselves.
A lot of people don't follow the rules anymore. The numbers are really bad in the Netherlands.
I replied and said that people are sick and tired of them in Belgium as well. We had a lovely Spring weekend the past weekend and everyone went outside. At the coast, it was TOO crowded. Everyone wanted to go to the beach. Belgium is a small country with a lot of people. They announced on television and the radio to stay away from the coast and the sea but people just didn't listen.
@everyone: thank you so much for your nice comments. I really appreciate them.

Oh goodness. I'm sorry about the situation in the Netherlands!
After being glued to the news for so long, I've taken a break the past month or so. I am a bit unaware of happenings across the globe lately.

Sweetie, this is stunning! Love the message of hope and in the background the dark wings, love this contrast for explaining so well your feeling!
I'm sorry reading Biancka because I feel the same here's and I join both of you ladies for the people get out with the nice and warm weather here's too and the bad numbers here's. They start to talk about lockdown again but maybe only some areas. I can't understand why people are so selfish and can't respect the rules... Here's kids are on holidays for 2 weeks but there are 3 area of holidays, so we are the 3rd this year, there is actually 2 areas on holidays for this week and next week, we will be the only one but they start testing in schools, I hope they will test in our school.:/
My dad still can't receive the vaccine as they don't have enough and there is no possible appointment. I don't know what to think, I try to not reading and listening too much the news it stresses me too much but I read it this morning lol and it doesn't help me! Want to believe in some Hope so your layout is very welcome too!
Nice work my friend! I love all your layout about the Covid, I still want to scrap about it but didn't manage yet!

@Charlene: I totally understand you. I barely watch the news these days. I think it's been over a month since I last saw the news on television.
I am so sick and tired of all those messages. The only thing they talk about is Covid. And yes, that is so important, but it doesn't help me with my mental health. So I stopped watching.
@Emily: I know how you feel my friend. I'm so sorry to read the situation in France is still so bad that they are talking about a lockdown again.
I'm so sorry about your dad and he not getting his vaccine. I'm sure it causes a lot of stress. Ugh! I'm sorry you have to deal with that as well.
In Belgium, there's a lot of fuzz about the vaccines as well. There are too little and there is a lot of commotion about the AstraZeneca vaccine. Some people say it's a bad vaccine and they want another one.
In Belgium, they are opening test areas for schools as well. But they don't test in the schools themselves. All students from the whole city or towns have to come to a seperate testing area. But I'm just glad they want to test the students as soon as possible.
You know I work for the local governement of Turnhout. And due to the pandemic, I had a lot of work informing our local residents, shop owners, companies, etc... about the coronavirus and it's measures to stop it. Well, now in one of the companies of Turnhout, there has been a break out of the virus. 45 people of one department tested positive! And another 100 had to be in quarantine. And their families! So the numbers in Turnhout went way up. It's insane.
The numbers in Belgium are very unstable. They go up and down.
