Once we got [...]

The Jura in spring


We walked six miles over our beautiful mountains. The sky was immense. It was covered in a deep blue decorated with huge white fluffy clouds. It felt good to stretch our muscles on a weekend walk. We haven’t been able to walk so far since before the snow started last year.
