Fluffy clouds in blue skies
Overhanging boughs
Country paths
and fields of green.
I should get into the country much more often
and it isn't so very far away from where I live.
So lovely here to see the yellow dandelions in full bloom.
Beautiful buttercups everywhere too!
To get up here, I need to walk up the hill from where I live to the nearest metro station,
only three stops away
and then I need to take a country bus which leaves every fifteen minutes from the metro.
One bus goes all around small villages and it takes about fifteen minutes,
the other one is more direct and it takes only seven minutes to get to this beautiful area.
When I had a car, I came here several times a week in all weathers,
even with my snow-shoes in the winter!
I even saw butterflies!
A wooden cabin in the woods.
I love how we can see the forest and trees through the windows.
This place is called Chalet-à-Gobet
and not too far from the town of Lausanne.
Another lovely place in the country to visit is Apples.
This is further away and I need another country train to get here.
It's also great for walks, especially in the autumn when the trees change colour.
On a clear day, there is an excellent view on the mountains from the top of the hill.
It was a little misty on this particular day.
I do love shutters, especially the old ones.
With roses growing on the wall against a trellis.
The village had colourful pots of flowers
The rapeseed fields were past their most colourful, but still looked pretty in contrast to all the green.
Waiting at the station of Apples
to catch the country town back down to the nearest town of Morges.
Only one train per hour, so it's best not to miss it!
