At this time of year you want to start opening the window when you go to sleep, even if you haven t changed the duvet for something lighter yet. The sun comes in from dawn, sometimes you can also hear the sea. I feel the breeze on my face and I smell coffee and toast. Begins the day.
While I get ready upstairs, downstairs everything is movement and laughter. Today we have breakfast on the terrace. We let ourselves be caressed by the sun making plans for the whole day. We will go rowing, to discover new coves and dragon caves, gliding over Posidonia meadows where salamas graze. In the afternoon, I walk through the town and have dinner by the sea. It is a luxury to enjoy this Natural Park.
We clean up in no time, the beds are made flying, with two bathrooms we forget about queues, we take everything we need from the pantry, we see that the automatic irrigation is working and we go to the beach.
We come back tired and happy, we fight over using the garden hose to wash off the salt. We love the garden, it is perfect to be alone and in silence (if the birds let you) and to fill it with friends and joy.
We stopped for a while to have an infusion, sitting in the living room with both doors open, I contemplate the vegetation. I m inside the house and it seems like I m outside.
We are all handsome now, we are going for a walk and dinner in town. In 15 minutes we are in the center, we walk through the area of the orchards, we go down the boulevard and we go back to snack on the promenade.
The last one at home, under the stars, ready to go to sleep straight away. We will wake up with strength for a new adventure.
