And suddenly, summer was over

From warm to cold in no time

And suddenly, summer was over. It’s still too early to say this is always how it goes, but by now it does seem that the jump from warm (>25°C) to cold (<15°C) happens very quickly in both directions – somewhere around October and May. Luckily, there are still plenty of sunny days, and now and then temperatures even spike back up to 20°C.

The many misty mornings also have their charm, but ten in a row does start to get a bit tiresome.

The autumn colours are beautiful, and when the weather really turns gloomy, we still have plenty to do indoors. For example, we’ve learned that levelling a floor is actually a doable DIY job. Our hallway cellar is now ready to protect all the more delicate plants from the forecasted frost..

    A house without a cat was unthinkable, but adoption through a shelter proved difficult because the cats were only allowed to stay indoors. However, the neighbours had two litters, so two kittens were adopted: a ginger tomcat and his “sister”, who turned out to be a brother (Tux). After a month, it appears that two kittens are more sociable together; they entertain each other and often seek company on our laps at the same time. The border collie Mazy is cautiously learning to play with them.

    November is also a grey month in Hungary. There is still little rain, but regular thick fog. Mazy catches her balls flawlessly and the deer were like shadows behind the garden: walking here is worthwhile in every season. After 10 days of shivering at 12°C in the house, we can now happily turn up the…

  • To be or not to airbnb

    A year ago, we moved with an open mind (‘we’ll see’) and converted our upper floor into a two-room apartment for friends and family. We decided to rent it out as well, not to make a living from tourism, but to welcome guests seeking peace, nature and simplicity. After registration (with inspection and 1 star) and listing on Airbnb, among others, the first guests arrived.
