Peace Of Mind

My (more or less) daily walk takes me along these fields with the tiny church spire in the distance. I love this view. It's so calming, so relaxing. I'm grateful for my little world.

Some More Summer Memories

In August, we embarked on our traditional hiking trip to the north of the country with a large group of friends. Nothing works better for the children's motivation than the company of their peers (and a touch of stimulating music)...

Until next August :)

Sweet Memories...

... of our hiking on the coast! No, we didn't lie on the beach and splash in the sea all day every day, of course not. There were two certain young persons in our company who would have preferred it that way but oh no, it wasn't meant to be.

Our first stop was this gorgeous little church on top of the hill above the bay...

... with this crucifixless crucifix at the main altar...

... and there was an old painting of the local legend to be seen as well. 

There is a huge stone cross on top of the hill not far away from the church...

... and the views are breathtaking throughout the entire hike.

We're putting it on repeat for next year!

Out Again!

After two weeks in bed with the worst case of flu it feels wonderful to be out and about again, even on a dull and cloudy day like today. I took a brisk walk while my little girl was at her church class and enjoyed the winter landscape slowly dropping its winter attire.

I'm completely ready for spring!

Summer Walks

Some pretty views I enjoy on my (almost) daily walks. These were taken back in July & August, so the scenery has changed a bit since then (no more gorgeously golden wheat fields...). I'll try to update the post with some autumnal views - trust me, they're just as gorgeous!
