🐾 Our unofficial assistant host, Bram
Bram, our curious cat, also lives at De Tuinkamer | Stay & Retreat 🌿. He seems to know exactly when new guests arrive. During the day I hardly see him, but as soon as De Tuinkamer is occupied, he regularly comes by to see who is staying.
Sometimes it’s just a quick inspection, and sometimes he really comes over to say hello. Some guests have even bought him a little treat. 😄
Bram is part of our home and roams freely outside. He does not normally come into De Tuinkamer, although it can of course happen that he pops his head inside out of curiosity or wanders across the terrace.
And in the evening he has a favourite spot: high up on the beams, where he quietly keeps an eye on everything in the dark. A kind of night watchman for De Tuinkamer | Stay & Retreat 🌿. 🐾
