Go take a hike!


For our summer holiday we spent five days, "unplugged" in the Smoky Mountains.
Green was everywhere in this temperate rain forest. In the smells and sounds as well as sights.
We were treated to early morning showers daily. The rain creating percussive sounds as it fell, flooding out the crickets' loud songs ~ an overwhelming cacophony that kept us awake the night before. In forest which is mostley untouched, we found deer trails leading to black berry bushes, salamanders and crayfish in the cool streams and ready made hiking sticks.
Looking forward to getting back to that magical place just as soon as we can.
