NATURE IN EVERYDAY LIFE: EXPIRIENCES BETWEEN APARTMENT AND PROPERTY

Since we arrived here, our daily life has changed in many ways. The routes we take for shopping, the daily walks with Diana, and the drives between our property and the apartment have now become an integral part of our routine.

We still travel a lot on the main road around the lake and are now exploring new side roads and paths more frequently, like the “Stirling Road” shown in the middle picture.


A simple trip to the nearest town takes at least 40 minutes, and to reach the next city, we’re looking at an hour in each direction. These distances require good planning – while in Austria, we also planned ahead for a week, it wasn’t a big deal if we forgot something, as shopping was only a five-minute drive away. Here, we are learning quickly to avoid unnecessary trips.

During our walks with Diana and our drives to the property, we frequently experience special moments that bring us closer to nature. One of the highlights was spotting a beaver, which we saw both on the road and later swimming in the water. These unexpected encounters with wildlife add a special vibrancy to our everyday life here.
Our daily explorations and walks not only bring us closer to nature but also foster a deeper connection to our new surroundings. We truly enjoy the beauty that lies just within walking distance of our new home. Spending so much time in this almost picture-perfect environment gives us a lot of energy and strength for the daily grind and our future plans.
The vacation period we allowed ourselves upon arrival is now over, and it’s time to focus again on securing our residency and work permits to ensure we can stay here for the long term. However, we look ahead with confidence and are excited about the prospect of calling this place home in the future.

What to Do in the Garden Now: Winter Rest, Berry Care and Planning for Your Next Growing Season

When the garden looks quiet on the surface, our most important work begins: we thin out dense raspberry patches, plant garlic, refresh the mulch around our berries, watch how winter cabbage responds to its spot and give the soil fresh impulses. Winter becomes a silent planning season where we prepare crop rotation, soil care and berry structures so that the next garden year can start more stable, diverse and relaxed.

A New Clipart Library for My Content

I’ve discovered CraftNest as a large clipart and design library that I plan to use for future blog posts, recipes, PDFs and other materials. The platform offers far more than just farming motifs – it includes a wide range of cliparts, coloring books, junk journal pages, sublimation designs and SVG files in different styles, many of them as PNGs with transparent backgrounds and commercial use included, making them suitable for both print and web projects.
