the green green grass of ...

... scotland...



on a day like today I wish I was there,
in the middle of the highlands, or on one of the islands,
being able to go outside and not see any human beings ... ok maybe some sheep or deer ... but for the rest, only moors and green and purple and brown valleys ...
inviting you to roam and discover their grounds ....
actually I could have gone to a beautiful nature reserve sort of thingie close by where I live, but it would still mean I have to go and get there by getting out of the city (or big village as I call it) ...
I wish I could be there, by simply stepping outside, like when I was camping in the wild in scotland, or malta (another beautiful island) .. every day a different view .. although camping would be a bit cold now ... but then again, a nice small cabin somewhere in the forest with a fireplace, and a closet full of food, some electricity to make some music (get some solar panels) ...

mmmm sometimes my middle name is hermit ....

untill I remind myself it is actually michiel and that I really have to go out and get myself some coffee and yoghurt ......
