Sky Diving

I think I needed to skydive so much more than I ever realized. I hadn’t set out to go it was more an opportunity given which I still hadn’t realize the value of; not monetary value but perspective or life or invigoration, I can’t actually put my finger on it, I just know that my drive and I were completely reconnected after it. It was awesome in plane terms, the scenery, the flights, the free fall and then the parachute back down onto terra firma were all incredible, but it had such an impact on my mind and outlook. We can do anything, just anything, really, just do it. See things you never expected and let yourself be afraid

Fly Fishing

Although I’m not into fly fishing, I can completely understand why people enjoy it. The Marble Trout can only be found here in the Soca River, its completely unique to this area. I wanted to mention it as my mums hubbie Howie Clarke spent the day on the river, and after not catching a thing on the Dee over the last 4 years in Scotland, he landed 4 trout in 1 day on the Soca. I’m not even sure if that’s a good thing in the land of fishermen, but I thought it sounded good, and its catch and release, so yay, everyone was happy!

Lepina Valley

We just had a hankering to walk so set off on a route we meant to do for a long time. Lepina Valley. It was only a couple of hours to the summit, then up over a rise along then down to the glacial lake. It just knocked our socks off. There is the option to go higher to the summit, or stay in the mountain refuge there. Whatever it’s a stunner, I can’t wait to get back there next summer…and I know Bob enjoyed his swim!

Wankerhof

Got to love Austria, one of the more frequented Guest houses in the vicinity!

Football Pri Mostu Zaga

Its primo posishiarmo on the roof terrace for the local games. Bev (Man of the Match 2008!!!) plays with the Upper Zaga team. Another event were you intend to pop along for a bit and end up being fed and watered by the locals till you’re ready to pop and drop or both…

Brill Birthday.

We cycled to the top of Stol, drank beer in the orchard by the Soca, yum yum and relaxed. Such an ace day thank you Bevvy!

Quad Bikes

Just an awesome day. We covered almost 100km, did some serious climbing, saw lamas, waterfalls, landslides the lot. Covered so much ground, much on my doorstep that I’d never seen, loved it! We got properly filthy.

Snowshoe

These pics were from us on route to the source of the Soca River. Just an ace way to spend the odd Sunday afternoon. Jumping giant rocks covered in snow a go go !!!

Potatoes

Just another amazing thing about Slovenia or at least Zaga. Everyone has their plot, everyone has their potatoes, and if you have a spare hour and a gardening rake then head to the fields above Zaga where you will be put to work for sure. The tractor man makes his way around the plots, whilst you wait you help your neighbors, whilst they wait they help you. It’s a glorious example of an unwritten rule just quietly working

Kite Boarding Bob

When the wind blows!!!!!!!! Just love it and Bob can come with us

Summer Flowers

Beautiful, now I feel like a local! Planning next years floristry visions already, I got the bug, even if I don’t have the green fingers!

Hunter Dog

Oh man, I didn’t want to let this puppy go. Hunter dog, found in the forest by our house, reunited with his very grateful owner the following day….boooo, but yaaaay! He did smell a bit but I loved him!
