Birthday Boxing Day!

Yes it’s a real thing! Birthday Boxing Day is a tradition that I started perhaps some 30 years ago and that I believe in wholeheartedly, as well as Birthday Eve and if I’m lucky even a birthday eve…eve. 😁 Every girl should make the most of every birthday like I do! So coffee is served in bed and my wishes are Darren’s commands. 😉. If asked he might refer to it as Cows week?… but it all means the same thing really 😂

Beautiful views this morning from my bedroom and when I finally got up to sit outside at the picnic bench with my second coffee I felt that I was being watched. As I looked around I spied up on the hill above two loose dogs staring down at me. A little dog and a larger German shepherd type of dog just standing above looking down on me 👀. Then… knowing full well I was watching on, they started getting jiggey with each other🫣 so I politely looked away and we got ready to leave. 😂

We spent a good few hours driving today through more hills, mountains and gorges until we found a secluded spot at the bottom of a particularly large gorge. It had the vibe of an old western movie set in monument valley. We discovered a nice path that ran along the river to go for a walk and then back through an old village. It was a very interesting setting and like most places we’ve visited quite deserted. We had quiet peaceful night here drifting off to sleep to the sound of the river waters tumbling over a rocky weir .Läs mer
