I finally managed to find some time for a walk. Not for travelling from one place to another when I'm on business, but for a real walk for my own pleasure. After all, the pace of life has changed very significantly over the past three years. And clearly not in my favour.
I went to my favourite place of peace and rest - Old Pond. I've already written about it, but it was so long ago that I'll remind you a little.
This place is not far from my house - ten minutes by car. In fact, it's a hotel and restaurant complex. But the main peculiarity of it is that it is located in the forest in the literal sense. This fact played an important role during the Russian occupation in 2022. The Russians couldn't destroy this place simply because they couldn't find it ๐
There are almost never any people here. Well, maybe no more than ten people. If you need privacy, this is a great place to do it. I also love the fact that wild animals and birds feel completely safe here. Rabbits and wild ducks live here. The entire territory is at their disposal. They are absolutely not afraid of people. People, in turn, take care of them, especially in winter.
I can endlessly wander along the paths, sit in a cosy gazebo and look at the water. I try to come here at least once a season and this place is always beautiful.
