Enjoying the Outdoors

Lockdown is looming but we managed a few trips outside the city before that happens. It feels good to be out in the beautiful countryside and fresh air away from the city.

We visited friends in their village around the lake. It really is a beautiful place to live and I would love to live in their village! I love the outdoors style of life and the friendliness of everyone and being so close to beautiful mountains.





 
We picked a load of dill from their garden which I then had to prepare for dinner- quite a long task!

The children spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sun and painting stones with 'grass dye' and then came inside for more painting!

A trip to Zakho and the famous Pira Delal ('Beloved Bridge'):



J and I are enjoying Saturday mornings going out into the mountains to run/hike. Last week we did 8km and got 1000 metres high! It's fun being at the stage of being able to leave children fast asleep at home and escape out for a bit!
