One of the nice consequences of all the heavy rain that we had, is that our water-lines are filled with water again. That means, that the bridges that we made last summer, are now really bridging water 😉

Yesterday, I had a most fantastic afternoon/evening. Two cars full of friends come to visit us at the B&B for the first picnic in the field. Even though I had my camera with me, I was too happy to be […]
