The joys of Amstel Park, where Bambi and I often spend hours. He hates the bees and loves the flowers, how ironical, how can one exist without the other. In the park they have a toy train that goes inside what we like to call “the deep dark woods” (a nod to Julia Donaldson). We have not spotted any Gruffalos yet, however, we have spotted butterflies, cows, sheep, goats, llamas, emus, turkeys, hens, roosters, peacocks and peahens, pigs, ponies, birds, rabbits, buffalos, and bees, lots of bees, and some mosquitoes.
● About Me

Hi, I’m Amrita—the voice behind Diligent Candy. I’m a writer, educator, and quiet rebel drawn to slow living, thoughtful words, and mildly overthinking everything. This blog is my corner of the internet where intellect meets whimsy, and where I explore the sweet spots between scholarship, simplicity, and joy.
