The best tips for a nice long weekend!
This week an extra early edition of our tips for the weekend. With a nice long Ascension weekend ahead of us, there is plenty of fun to do, see, taste and shop. Enjoy!
Enjoy Tea Time in Echten
Are you going to hit the paths and avenues this weekend and perhaps enjoy the beautiful surroundings in the northern provinces? Then a visit to the stately white villa of Tea Time in Echten, Drenthe, should not be missed. You can best describe this picturesque tea room as ‘a piece of England in Drenthe’.

All delicacies are homemade, but with the unmistakable taste of jolly old England. You can also get tasty British snacks for the road in the shop at the restaurant. We love! You can find more information and reserve a spot here.
Show off your legs with the new Gambettes Box
Now that spring is in full swing again, we like to sit in the sun with our stilts. That’s why Gambettes Box is exchanging the usual tights from their subscription box for a set of summer goodies! In the latest box from the luxury hosiery brand you will find a cheerful bag for the spring months, which is perfect for al fresco lunches and trips to the beach. This stylish bag also contains a nice lotion from Terre de Mars, with which you can take good care of your paws. This beauty line, which is produced entirely in France, combines traditional wisdom and organic ingredients with modern techniques.
And hey, if you need nice tights or a stylish pair of socks this spring – after all, we know that the Dutch spring can be capricious – you will also find a cheerful dotted stocking in the new box, with a set of candy socks. Here you will find more information about this cheerful May edition of Gambettes!
Dine at Hemel & Aarde
In the Utrecht Hotel The Nox you will find the attractive restaurant Hemel & Aarde, known for its fresh and seasonal cuisine and good and relaxed service. For anyone who can’t get enough of it, Hemel & Aarde is now even open for a delicious breakfast!
Rene van der Weijden, chef at Hemel & Aarde, says: “Hemel & Aarde is an ode to the seasons. We love a nice piece of meat, but the focus in the kitchen is really on all the beautiful vegetables. We use absolutely everything from the products: from head to tail and from leaf to root. This is how we work sustainably and greenly.” In short: it is not only very tasty, but also very sustainable. Is your mouth suddenly watering now? You can reserve your own table here.

Viewing tips
No big plans for this nice long weekend, but would you like to relax with a nice series or good movie? We get it. Fortunately, there is plenty of fun to watch on streaming services in the coming days!
For a cheerful romcom, you’ve come to the right place at Netflix, where the film Mother of the Bride will be released tomorrow, starring Brooke Shields and Miranda Cosgrove. If you’re looking for more thrills, then you should watch the new season of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School on HBO Max. For a healthy dose of humor from your own country, you’ve come to the right place at Prime Video. The film De Tatta’s 2 can be seen there from Sunday.
This is how we’ll get through our weekend, right? Enjoy it!
