Today we made a very nice walk in the area of the castle of Twickel. I know my way around there rather well, for Marion it was more new. Of course she has been there before, but not really in to the woods.
It is on days like this that I miss the dogs. In the time I was still living with my ex in Borne we have been here often with the dogs. It is a great area for dogs.
Nevertheless, it was great to be back there again. The weather was not that bad at all. So we wandered around the castle, trying to get a glimpse of the gardens, which must be wonderful as I heard (there another thing to do… visiting here when the gardens are open during a summer). From there over the access road with all it wonderful old houses and farms into the forest itself.
The silence of the forest was very enjoyable and peaceful. Being out there in the nature always makes me feel good some… gives me power somehow. No need to talk much, just enjoying the company and being there. That is enough!
Yes, the walk through the forest was very nice. I would love to go there more often and take long walks there.
And you know I would love a dog as well, but as you say always yourself… our way of living would not be good for a dog. We would never be able to give him or her the attention that is needed.
Twickel is a very beautifull place. Very good surrounding to relax and enjoy nature.
Maybe that is why my shrink is a direct neighbour of the Castle 😀
