On Travels

I just love little weekends away - stolen moments of calm in the midst of a hectic lifestyle. Back in August, we had exactly one of these little weekends. In a month of rain, Friday morning rolled around and we were bathed in gorgeous sunshine as we set out for the Ardennes.

On our travels we found a waterfall and swam in its icy pool. The country houses planted in us a seed of an idea to maybe one day have a guest house out there. We savoured the local cuisine and beer, and saw buzzards and bikers and... on the way home, we took a detour to a castle. It was stunning - peaceful, yet buzzing with no less than 3 bridal parties being photographed in the grounds. Of the many photos my fiance took of the castle, one stood out for layout-making.

 

I love this photo. I love how the blue of the sky makes such a strong reflection of the castle in the moat. It perfectly embodies our little weekend.
