Going for a bike ride to the nearby forest, on a sunny but cool Sunday. Early Autumn. The sun, the smell of fresh mulch, the wind, the lack of man-made machinery, lack of man-made noises, trees crackling as they’re swaying in the wind, the occasional leaf falling onto the ground, the others still hanging but not for too long…oh the magic in life and death cycle…the moment 💙🙏🏽🌞🌍💚🌱🌳🍂💛
Fruit trees have a particularly good year every few years. We pruned his 50-year old apple tree quite extensively in February 2020. And quite frankly we thought it was the end of it, as it hadn’t been producing many apples for a good few years and it just looked tired.
Nasturtium is really enjoying the cool nights and the sunny days. Their flowers are edible, now both sweet and a little sharper, a bit like radishes, because of the near zero temperature at night😋😍🌸
Pauline and Héloïse @2_nanas_a_velo have been bicycle touring since January: South America, the USA, Scandinavia, and now across Europe, heading south chasing the sun ❤️🌞
Rouen, Normandy, France, August 2017.
Never ever have thought I would meet my bike’s ‘twin brother’😆 but there you go! @e.celie Els from Holland is on her way to Greece, travelling as a solo cyclist. Respect ✌🏼It was great to meet you! We wish you all the best, only good people on your way, and mainly tailwinds ✌🏼
