Hi All, I’ve just had an inspirering weekend away to the countryside in Southern France. We drove off in our new little second hand car, a Renault Twingo, that we’ve named Topolino.

Beautiful sunshiny ride up to visit friends of ours who live outside Toulouse and live in a chateu. This family are more or less self sufficient with huge vegetable gardens, chickens for eggs, ducks for meat and soon goats to come for milk and cheeze – fantastic set up! Set up for the future! I admire them.

Was so beautiful to see their kids running around free in the nature and Nina(their 7-year old girl) and myself hang out every day in a field at the back of the chateu which was  full of poppy flowers and other types of flowers, it was gorgeous. Picking poppies with her, playing games in the field amongst the flowers and listening to the sounds of birds and insects all around us – magical moment. Meditative. I felt like I inhaled all the colours, nature smells and the beauty. I hugged trees and walked in the fields. We had a barbeque on the sunday and we ran around in the green, swinging in trees and playing as a child.I felt free, happy, revived and high from nature this weekend. It feeds my spirit and body. How does nature make you feel?

Much love xnunu
