Autumn fog

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 radiator a little. It is already dark at 5 p.m., a bit like ‘double winter time’ because we are further east. This means that getting up in the morning is still no problem, but by 8 p.m. my chicken brain tells me it is time to go to bed. Personally, I like it: a productive morning and afternoon, then the evening can start on time.

    A house without a cat was unthinkable, but adoption through a shelter proved difficult because the cats were only allowed to stay indoors.

The border collie Mazy is cautiously learning to play with them.

    We went on a three-day cycling tour along Lake Balaton, with an extra loop through the Bakony region to cover sufficient distance. We started in Berhida and cycled via Eplény along quiet country roads to the north coast. Via Balatonfüred and the coast of the Tihany peninsula, we crossed over to the south shore at Szántód. On the third day, we temporarily left the shore, cycled over cliffs and forest roads, and ended up back in Berhida. We encountered unpaved or impassable sections, sometimes overgrown paths, and busy stretches without cycle paths; but everywhere we enjoyed views, tranquillity, and flexibility.
