Hikes and health

Pretty breakfasts

A close encounter with an ibex

Mike had a dilemma on Sunday morning. It was his turn to take Belka for her morning walkies. The weather forecast predicted mist in the lowlands but sunshine in the mountains, so he fancied doing a hike. But we were having friends round for lunch, so he had to be back by midday. The solution: he and Belka got up at 7 am and drove to the local alps for a "hikelet". They weren't disappointed -
they got nice views out over the cloud inversion, and also encountered an impressive and not at all bothered mountain ibex. And were home by 11.15.

Lucy discovered "smoothie bowls" not so long ago. Basically a bowlful of liquidized yoghurt, fruit and possibly spinach or other healthy green veg, they can be decorated with anything that happens to be in the fridge or the baking supplies cupboard. They taste delicious, of course.
