This weekend we really do know that Spring has arrived. We've experienced gorgeous weather with clear blue skies and temperatures around 18/20C, yet sitting in the sun it feels much warmer. When the weather's like this you have to make the most of it. After a lovely bike ride yesterday it was nice to stretch the legs today walking inIs Molas. Its only a few kilometres from where I live and you  find a beautiful landscape of pine forests spreading  across the mountains. There is a delightful river which runs down through the vegetation and this time of year flows in abundance, however during the summer months the river bed is completely dry. I breathed in the fresh oxygen today from these healthy vibrant trees enjoying a relaxed walk with a friend and dog.By the river in Is MolasI love walking up here, in previous years I would often cycle up on my own during the week as there are very few people around then just to spend sometime in nature and de-stress. I  don't seem to have as much time during the week now but hopefully once the courses at the school come to an end I'll be a bit freer. I love the peacefulness and quiet. It's blissful to have a place like this on your doorstep. After the walk we finished off with beer on the terrace overlooking the sea at Nora.Nora, just before sunset
