Highland cattle in the Dönche

I have a cold that keeps me from sleeping, especially at night. That's why I'm not feeling so well. But today I wanted to get some fresh air. Since the Dönche is right outside my front door, it was the perfect place to do so. In addition to the sheep, dogs and birds, a deer crossed my path. The Dönche …

Used the dry and sunny time for a little break in the kebab. Unfortunately, I'm still too weak to go on a larger tour.

I've had a pretty bad cold for 2 weeks, but I'm slowly getting better. My condition is pretty bad because of it. Today I took advantage of the sun, no photos, that messes up my GPS...

After being pretty sick last week, I'm now trying to slowly build up my fitness again. During today's lap I noticed that I'm not quite fit yet. The Dönche arrived in autumn, colorful leaves, lots of mushrooms, a dream.

A little walk through the Dönche, enjoy the weather, take a deep breath, sort out your thoughts...

A walk through the Dönche is always a good idea. After a warm morning filled with to-dos, the afternoon was much cooler. Either snuggle up or go outside, or both. 😅 So put on your shoes and head to the Dönche. Spring is in full swing and the Dönche is a sight to behold in any weather. 😉😊🌞🌧

Short after-work and Easter holidays make this possible. In fact, I had the impression that spring had picked up nicely in the Dönche since my last visit. There are buds everywhere, it's green and blooming and chirping... really great.

After gardening, I wanted to go for a little walk. Lots of sheep, lots of people, lots of dogs and lots of sun.
