Summer Solstice

Here we are in Gauting, all settled in, and I even have internet as of three days. My last blog was exactly two months ago, when we cycled out to our future home for the first time, excited and filled with happy expectations. We haven't been disappointed. This move was a good move.

Today after supper I thought a short stroll would be nice. I went downstairs, but then quickly returned for my rain jacket, just in case. The initial gentle drizzle was fine, I actually enjoyed it. I liked it, too, when it rained a little more and I could hear the rain drops patter on my hood. Good I had my rain jacket and that the pockets are big enough for my little Sony Nex camera, if I have a small lens attached, which I did. The further I got from home, the harder it rained. Yes, good I had my rain jacket. Thunder rumbled in the distance, far away not threatening. Eventually my shoes were soaked through and my drenched jeans clung to my thighs. Yes, good I had my rain jacket and its pockets are big enough for my Sony Nex camera.

It was a walk to celebrate the June solstice, no bonfire, no sunset, just a walk in a warm summer rain.
