Ah lovely dreamy sunny holidays.... My love and I are recently back from a week spent in the Bodrum Peninsula, Turkey. Our holiday had such an easy effortless flow.. our pace was unhurried, and we explored the area but without feeling the pressure to see or do everything.
During the day we'd drive to the coast. There we'd swim, laze around, read, eat a long mellow lunch.... and I'd write and draw in my journal. I did a lot of writing on this trip, I wrote nearly every day and the words flowed easily. (The drawing unfortunately didn't flow so well, it felt forced... as it has for months now. I do hope that I become unstuck in my drawing as I have in my writing...)
We had rented a small cottage in a vineyard - traditional, very simple, tiny but functional.
The surrounding land provided a beautiful rustic backdrop to our stay. We were up in the hills surrounded by ancient fig and olive trees, with a small vineyard directly below. Rolling hills in the distance, and beyond that the blue of the Aegean Sea. The hooting of owls provided the soundtrack.
In the evenings we'd play jazz, sitting under the stars feasting on baclava and red wine from the vineyard, talking dreamy-eyed about the future life we want to build, a less hectic life, one where we have a true home and feel rooted.
Love your photos and your lovely, minimalist blog design! Looking forward to browsing more in depth! Greetings from a fellow Explorer!
