Travel theme: Camaraderie

22 november, 201522 november, 2015 / Leya / 13 kommentarer

Ailsa wants us to show camaraderie – and I agree that this is what we need to see and hear in the tough world of today.

When my daughter, Emma, turned 25 this autumn we all went to our closest outdoor exposition, held at Wanås Castle.

Walking behind them through the park and listening to their conversation (I had permission…) I felt the usual gratefulness of having these two fine youngsters around me.

From the start, she would set the pace and he would follow…

But today they are equals – only two years between them. They support each other through thick and thin, through darkness and light, and have never fought over anything. Sometimes they seem to be enveloped in their own world in subjects I know nothing about. But I do hope – and believe – they will continue on this road of camaraderie.

Two friends for life – my beloved son and daughter.

WPC: Happy Place

A happy place where I can relax and get away from a busy life…WPC wants to know my secrets…and then they are secret no more. Near and far, some easily reached when needed, some only in my world of memories.

Sitting in my garden listening to bees humming in the flowers.

Walking in ”my” forest every day…

Far away…not easily reachable, but still…in my memory a place of utmost happiness.

WPC: Boundaries

Boundaries – physical or others are essential to mankind and society. On visiting the open air museum in Riga, I found some old beauties – an elegant garden fence and a rustic pigsty fence. I love them both. Join in and let us see your choices!

Nötkråkan – the nutcracker is not that common in Sweden where i live, but in Switzerland these beauties greeted you with a scouting eye. A walk by this lake was accompanied by at least 10-15 of them waiting for you to conjure up some nuts or other candy.

Ailsa – this must be one of my absolute favourite themes…Dogs! My faithful companions through life. Please join in – we cannot get enough of faithful life companions!

Here are some of the dogs who met me, too – of which some still are my great friends.
