Evenings in the garden 💚

Our meadow has been full of ox-eye daisies again. They keep spreading around the garden, just how we like it 🌼

After some much-needed rain, the garden finally feels a bit fresher and greener again 💚 In today’s vlog we're planting tomatoes, checking on the veggies, picking strawberries and honey berries, collecting garlic scapes for lunch, and enjoying all the flowers 😊 Watch here: youtu.be/wXPkTqib15o

Our seasonal elderflower waffles with homemade jam and freshly picked honeyberries 😋

In our future forest. Any day now 😃

Summer is here and we are enjoying all the little things that come with it. The first strawberries are ready, we make elderflower waffles, admire the evening atmosphere with the full moon, and hope for some much-needed rain after another dry day in the garden. Watch here: youtu.be/Q4NIRrMwm2Y

Not only our flowers are colourful 🌈

Our snowball bush throughout the years 🪴

Early summer is bringing more colour to our countryside garden and there is always something new to enjoy. In today’s vlog, we harvest elderflowers and make our favourite elderflower cookies. From irises and peonies to our pond, early summer is slowly taking over. Watch here: youtu.be/ugBZC1JKsew

Our little rhododendron looks already quite prominent even with its 3 blooms 😃 We can’t wait for it to get bigger.

Summer sunsets ❤️

Warm days are here and the garden is changing fast. In today’s vlog we harvest our first rhubarb, make a rhubarb and strawberry pie, plant zucchinis, collect some huge radishes, and take a look at everything that is blooming. We even start the swimming season 😁 Watch here: youtu.be/e1ZXryF1mx4

We can almost hide behind this pearl bush 😃

We love when this honeysuckle is in bloom. Peter finds it magical 😊

Another week of spring life at our cottage in the Czech countryside is here. We spend busy days working in the garden, mulching, mowing, and enjoying all the flowers slowly taking over. Watch our new vlog here: youtu.be/QFpODZVf-Y8

Our favourite tulips 🌷

Late spring at our country house definitely has its ups and downs. In this video we spend a few quiet days in the garden, enjoy the blooming plants and make homemade pastries and other yummies. But spring also brought a few difficult moments this year. Watch here: youtu.be/3GDwSqIlgHY

We went for a walk which turned into an 18 km hike where we discovered beautiful new places in our area 💚

Flowering rapeseed fields never disappoint 🌼

This time Peter tries making his own lighter version of the traditional “Drunken Izidor” cake since we had a great walnut harvest. As always, we start with a bit of skepticism but the result surprised us 😁 Watch the video here: youtu.be/hWwqaIVs6cg

We celebrated our 18th anniversary recently and Peter made this delicious currant pie for the occasion ❤️

Our tree really wants to bear fruit 😃

Spring is in full swing and our garden is getting greener and greener. In today’s vlog we prepare our potato rows and plant potatoes in grass clippings and hay. We also need to burn old garden waste and do some other chores as always. Normal spring days in the countryside 😊 youtu.be/QoYmiYB4xJ0

Our forsythia has become a monster so it was time to propagate it 🌼

Fruit trees are flowering, spring flowers are everywhere, and the whole garden is waking up again. We spend our days outside, planting, propagating shrubs, checking on the greenhouse, and simply enjoying everything that is starting to grow around us. New vlog: youtu.be/EWihYrhyEjo

Fortunately, the hyacinths came back so we could enjoy them this year as well 🪻

We hope this viburnum gets a lot bigger so we could enjoy it even more at the beginning of spring 🌸

After coming back home from our vacation, we were excited to see the first signs of spring in the garden. The flowers are finally starting to bloom, the pond is slowly coming back to life, and everything feels like a new season is beginning. Watch our new vlog here: youtu.be/oYJPrcUVCLY

We came back just in time to enjoy the first flowers in the garden 🌺

We’ll have good memories of this day despite of Peter’s sprained ankle 🙂

Our last day in La Gomera didn’t go as planned... This was supposed to be the most beautiful hike of our vacation. But just a short time in, things went very wrong. Peter badly sprained his ankle and suddenly could barely stand. We didn’t really know what to do. Watch here: youtu.be/02E2eAbyEqI

La Gomera is such a green island 💚

An amazing hike from the beginning to the end 💚

In today’s video, we explore the northern side of La Gomera and what we thought would be a simple hike quickly turned into something much more interesting. The hike was just wow - cliffs, ocean views, green mountains, and quiet trails with no people around. Watch here: youtu.be/cPR5DUyyDbI

Our fancy vacation dining experience 😃

We enjoyed a slow day during our stay on La Gomera and explored the coast close to our place with this big beach. Check it out in our new vlog here: youtu.be/P74iJ1BBjgQ

A jungle adventure 😁

What a diverse hike 💚

We went on a hike in the beautiful Hermigua valley on La Gomera and it turned out even better than we expected. The day started with crazy wind and Sahara dust, so we weren’t sure if it would work out at all, but we found a calm spot in the north of the island. Watch here: youtu.be/8gchlWN1Ap4

It was one of those days when we used all the layers because of the constantly changing weather 🌦️

San Sebastián, the capital of La Gomera, as we were exploring it on our arrival on the island.

We started our La Gomera trip exploring the capital, San Sebastián, after arriving by ferry. The next day, we set out for our first full island adventure, chasing a spot sheltered from the wild winds. Our hike led us to La Cantera beach. Watch here: youtu.be/jOEVt4EXC70

Sitting in the banana plantation 😃 We actually found some ripe bananas and they were delicious 🍌

We had a lot of fun at the swimming pool and the surrounding garden while hiding from the windy weather.

Our vacation on the island of La Gomera in the Canary Islands didn’t exactly go as planned. We talk about how we got all the way here. Let's also take a look at the house where we’re staying, explore the surroundings, and maybe have some fun. There is a pool... Watch here: youtu.be/55RX5aVVijI

When we arrived in the Canary Islands in the evening, we were too excited and had to go to the beach right away 😃

We’re back from a week long vacation in the Canary Islands (again). It was so good to enjoy warm(ish) weather after the cold winter ☀️

Winter is slowly letting go, and the garden is finally starting to wake up. In today’s vlog, we take a look at our raised beds after the snow melt and check how some veggies are doing. And then it is time to celebrate Peter's birthday, yay 😁 Watch here: youtu.be/G2EW-_lDYFc

More snow. Yay 😃

We’re enjoying a real winter - snow, cold days, quiet forest walks. And, of course, cozy time at home. In this video we will be baking a traditional Slovak snack. It’s soft, fluffy, simple and perfect for winter days. But will we be able to make it without setbacks? Watch here: youtu.be/2uC7uN7p2CE
