A day of adventuring (as to be expected)

Haven't I spoken about randomly leaving everything behind to run off into the wilderness for a day or so?
The epic return on my migrane had taken place right after my awakening and I, being the unpredictable person I sometimes can be, cancelled all of my plans - which included going to a medieval fair - and started to stuff my backpack with all sorts of nomsies, some sutdy materials and one liter of boiling hot water in a thermos for teamaking purposes. I even brought my very own mug.

My hike took me to the woods, up the mountain and away from the busy paths until I finally found a spot where I felt like lingering for a while. That while turned into a day and I had a grand time just observing, feeling and enjoying my surroundings.

Nom nom nom...

All the elven goodness

I even felt like having some meat for a change -- you either go hard or you go home

Also included but not pretty enough for the photo were a bottle of berry smoothie and a very random salad, as well as some more bread and loads of different teabags

There is something very homely about bringing a real mug; when you use the cap of your thermos, you feel like a traveller, when you have a real mug, you feel at home.

Veins of the trees; isn't nature marvellous?

Sometimes it is just really nice to reconnect with nature and just enjoy it with all of your senses. It was good to have a day to myself again, recharge my energy and just be in the moment rather than stuck inbetween planning and organization. Nature is my personal escape and now that it's getting warmer, I cannot wait to go have some tea amongst the trees more often.
With a real mug of course.
I take tea very seriously.
