This year we reunited with Miguel’s parents and sister in Es Bordes. A historical little village near the Pyrenees. We arrived a few days earlier and this morning we made a beautiful walk in the mountains. The boys had a blast, playing ninja’s, doing yoga and Sam took even a few minutes off for himself to do a bit of meditation…
It is cool here which is a nice change as Madrid is so hot in August. Most people flee somewhere else. Or to the beach or the cooler mountains. The air is so fresh here and just outside of the village is a national park where you can swim in the rivers, have picnics and hike for hours.
When Ruby was a baby, Miguel and I lived here for a year. It brings back memories of those precious days. The change of the seasons, the skiing in winter and walks we made with Ruben still so tiny. The house has been renovated and looks beautiful, very different from how it was. The grandmothers in front to the house are still sitting in the same position. Possibly talking about the same and probably never left this place. How different one can live but what does someone need? This is pure bliss!! X
