Wildfowers

Another warm but very relaxing day here before we hit the road tomorrow for Switzerland. Did a few chores this morning then went for a hike up the valley following one of the many mountain streams. There were a lot of people around, the carparks were full and everyone seemed to be out and about enjoying their weekend, running, hiking, tramping and even spotted some paragliders high up in the mountains. A chair lift was operating up the valley, but we chose to walk…don’t know why!!! There was a nice breeze and walked quite a bit of the way with shade from trees. There are so many wildflowers blooming, many I have seen growing as perennials in our gardens.

The past six days in the mountains have been a very welcome time to catch our breath, slow down and escape the heatwave that has been so bad right throughout Europe. Having electricity and our wonderful fan has made it bearable.
