A toast to one hundred
Here comes my 100th story – hooray – and I would like to take you to the mountains to cheer.
Shortly after the lockdown was lifted here, my hubby and I were ready to go exploring again (<— click for some awesome Swiss landscapes we saw). Travelling to a region in the Bernese Alps where we have not spent that much time yet, the weather and the time was perfect for hiking.
So we went. Starting in one small village up through forest, wildflower meadows, along a mountain stream, at some point sharing the path with cows munching on rich pasture, and then reaching the height overviewing the whole Alpine valley and spotting a house…
Swiss Postcard Sceneries
I have seen and travelled to many corners of my home country, but there is always something new to discover. Today I share some pics with you of gorgeous landscapes I saw in just one day on one hike. That is why I call them Swiss postcard sceneries ;0).
What about you? Are you enjoying the beauties on your home turf? Do you have plans to travel to any of them?
Now, let’s go hiking in the Bernese Alps.

Harvested
Change is not only inevitable, but plays a crucial part in life. Nature is our best teacher.
Do you remember the flowering barley I shared with you in May? It was all freshly green and shiny back then.
By June, the barley changed in colour and ripeness and now in July it has been harvested.

Have you ever seen a village that almost only consists of houses that are not only very well looked after and simply stunning but also something between a hundred and 250 years old?

Extraordinary Train Station
Do you use public transport on a regular basis? Then surely, you know exactly when to leave home or any other place in order to just timely catch your bus, tram, train, ferry, whatsoever.
I do. I am usually not a whole lot too early ;0).
This time, though, I had more than enough time. Maybe because we were on a leisure visit in this village, maybe because we had finished our ice cream and coffee anyway. Maybe because it had to be that I entered this passage to the platforms early… For what I got presented with was simply mind-boggling and not something I had ever seen before.

Two years of blogging
Two years ago, we would never have thought, let alone dared to imagine, that something like what we see and experience in the world right now would ever be possible.
The coronavirus made the human madness stop in the blink of an eye. While I truly hope you are all safe and sound, coping reasonably well with this new and remarkable situation, I trust that the coronavirus is here for a very good reason. It not only stops us from craziness for example but also makes very clear that we are all equal and interconnected. Read more
Flower Power
Meteorologists call March 1 the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and it seems my inner rhythm is wonderfully synchronized with that. I can’t wait now for the juicy green and the flower power. How about you? Read more
