Like a couple of old wanderers, Leo and I walked around the neighbourhood this afternoon for more than an hour. I have to admit it was at a very relaxed pace.
(Writing ‘walking in the neighbourhood’ reminds me of this Sesame Street classic. And can you believe? People think kale is something new and funky but here it is mentioned in … what … the mid 1970s?! Love Bob too.)
Back to the walk … We went to the tulip field, up the hill to visit the cows at my favourite farmhouse, said hello to what felt like half the village during peak hour in the forest, then along the horse trail, past fields of Urdinkel, into the neighbouring village, patted the little horses and up through the fields to home.
All in all, a very nice way to spend the afternoon before the rains came. Tonight we chowed down on Leo’s lasagne and started a new TV series called Bloodline. This is much more to my liking than Braquo. I am a major Kyle Chandler fan, which helps.
- Physically Fit: A leisurely wander
- Mentally Fit: A leisurely wander; saying hello to all the animals
- Nutritionally Fit: Last of the chocolate cake and too much lasagne
- Minimalism: A leisurely wander. It really does tick all boxes other than food.
Here are some photos from the walk.
Wishing you a wonderful day.

- Can you believe there are tulips in someone’s garden! Look like roses
