The slow life - the green life. When we arrive at the cabin there is always one bag we never unpack; the bag filled with our busy everyday life. I never plan to pack this bag, but somehow it still tend to follow us. I try to forget it in the car when we carry our stuff up to the cabin, but often it makes itself invisible for periods, and find its way somehow.
But I never, never unpack this bag.
What I do bring with me, and always unpack, is long, slow days, sunshine and rain, silence, time for talking, time for games, preparing meals, eating, open ears for the birdsong, open eyes for nature's beauty.
At Easter our kids wondered why we didn't sell the cabin to buy a flat in Italy instead. With our love for Italy that would be the perfect thing to do.......
But our cabin is my sanctuary, the place to go to enjoy.........this place can never be changed with anywhere else in the world........
