• Thunderstorms in the woods

    19 juni 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    After a slow start we head off in the direction of Andorra 🇦🇩 our satnav always set to avoid motorways and tolls has been by far the best decision of the trip, because that’s how you see the real place and stumble across so many unexpected curiosities. Thoroughly enjoyed the drive even though there wasn’t anything in particular to tell you about. It’s so pretty and awe inspiring everywhere here.
    We find a lovely quiet spot sandwiched between a river and a train track, a grassy clearing surrounded by trees that will be home for the night. Darren went off for a walk and when he came back, on bended knee he presented me with a bunch of wild flowers 🌷 how romantic 🥰 ( The cynic in me thinking he’s either feeling guilty or after something obvs 😂) Turns out he was being genuinely soppy. Awww 🥰
    It started getting cold and began raining so we closed Ivy up and got comfortable, it wasn’t long before we started hearing thunder and seeing flashes of lightning. Being inside Ivy when the weather is dark and stormy is so very cozy and I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be.
    The forecast for tomorrow is not looking very promising so I’m not sure if we’ll go over into Andorra or not. It’s all well and good being in the mountains with all their epic views, but not if it’s all shrouded in mist and gloom. We’ll see… watch this space.
