TORIDORI SEASONAL LETTER 06.

Orange in the Coastal Dunes

Toridoriの季節便り

海辺の砂丘を飾るオレンジ色

2025 August 26 - 2025 October 14

Hi, friends! How are you doing? 

To add a spoonful of seasonality in your cup, I am writing a small seasonal letter every month.  

My sixth letter features the Belgium's beautiful natural herritage at the North Sea: the coastal dunes.

Sea buckthorn (Duindoorn in Dutch) is one of the native plants in this rather rare biome, which used to cover the entire coastal line of the Belgian North Sea. During the late August to October, this plant decorates the dunes with its beautiful orange fruits.

I saw the coastal dunes for the first time when I came to Belgium, and it was around this time of the year. Since then, I have a special affection to this beautiful contrast of the blue sea, white sand, and orange duindoorn at the North Sea.
