Below 15 degrees celsius, 5 Fahrenheit

when we went for the long walk with Frost this morning it was below 15 degree celsius ! that’s 5 degrees Fahrenheit ! quite cold….

warm clothes  was an absolute must for us all ! but with that blue sky and crisp air it was a wonderful long walk

Early mornings are the best…even though it’s winter and cold it’s just as beautiful

I completely forgot about the cold and the wind…it was just me and the birds watching the sun come up out of the water and then disappearing into the clouds..what a beautiful way to start the day.

God Jul/Merry Christmas

Fresh air filled our lungs.

A long walk along the shore with family in 5 degrees celsius. Blue skies, fresh air and a little wind. This is what I have been thinking about the last couple of weeks in India. The freedom of walking wherever and whenever I want to. Being able to fill my lungs with fresh air. Fresh cold air.
