Well, you can now watch the short film for yourself at the following link.

Enjoy!!!

Traveller's Rest

This is a time for travelling and for resting, in warmth of early summer sunshine.

Travelling because Benoit is on the go at the moment: two weeks ago he was in Finland, just now he's in Russia, and soon he'll be off to Estonia. Such travels are fantastic for him, as he's able to audit and thus visit forests and foresting companies.

Travelling because we bought our flight tickets last week.. to go to North Carolina for a dear friend's wedding in October. We'll be across 'there' (our old home' for two weeks travelling around the Carolinas and going down into Florida. I canna wait.

Travelling because Jack is also on the go at the moment. As we're currrently being blessed by daily sunshine, we're trying to go for a walk a day and often without the pushchair. Whenever he starts a walk, Jack immediately collects two stones. Then, during the walk, he replaces those stones with better ones. Even when he's in the pushchair, he's on the look out for 'worthy' stones. He also enjoys walking in tall grasses and giggles like mad when we lift him up so trees branches can tickle his face. It's all quite a delight.

Thankfully, though, we can always come home and rest - in our hammock or lounged out on the couch. And, Jack forces us to rest.. as he requires long daily naps to recover from all his walking, collecting, and exploring.

The apartment won't always be a quiet haven, though, as we're planning to renovate the place - knocking down the hall walls, bringing the kitchen into our giant living room, making a new room out of the old kitchen. You know, big stuff! All that should start in the next month and so I'll keep you posted...
love n hugs to y'all where ever you are,
Robynxx
