Slice of Life - Jura Oct 2018 #1

The goal of the Slice of Life concept is to write, writing to exist, writing to not forget, some slice of my life. This is my first English Slice of Life story, I already wrote one in French and this is not a translation, just another slice! I want to publish them on the blockchain, as they were graved in the stone and to share a slice of human life, as it is here in Switzerland for me.

It's the school holidays and we went to the Jura for a few days at the home of my lover's parents. It is in the Swiss part of the Jura mountain range, they speaks French with a funny accent and people are very welcoming!

So here we go for the longest car trip of our baby boy Eliott ever had in is short life! Car was full and my big boy was behind with baby boy, we listened to music and we just did a stop to eat a little something. Then we arrived at the end of the afternoon in the village called Villars. We dropped our bags and went out for a little walk with Big boy and the dog. The cover picture of this post was taken on the way back to home.

Today it's Big boy and me day, so we got out at 10h with food, water and the dog to hike all day. Big boy can walk for hours without any complain and that great for me! Weather was beautiful and warm enough to walk with a T-shirt. Autumn colors are much more present that they were on last walk. We did a 30 min break to eat and we finally arrived at home around 16h, so a 4h30 walk,

I filmed around 20 small videos sequences and put them together for a 2min video clip of our today walk. Sometimes images a better than any words!

We are very lucky to have a grandmother who makes food and takes care of all this, it's like holidays for us! And since they live far from home, they can make the most of the baby during these few days. In the evening we had dinner with a good bottle of red wine and the atmosphere was really nice. I have some family strike on my side, so it’s pleasant to see, let say, another of living in family.

One of the things I’m searching for in this kind of long is the connection to nature, this feeling that I’m part of an immense universe, this feeling that nature is perfect and I’m just a little part of it. We need here, she don’t, that’s all I know. There is beauty everywhere if you look closely, in a leaf, a stone, grass, trees, there is beauty in space, in the air, in the silence. I came across amazing trees today, here is a picture of some of them. I guess they can communicate together :-)
