Hymn to the walnut tree

ByGaby

This beautiful tree dominates our garden, and has lent its name to our house.

We only have one big tree on our 5000m². But that one tree is an absolute hit. Unhindered by competitors, it has grown wide and proud and its crown is as much as 10 m wide. During the hot summer months, it provides blissful shade and, during downpours, a dry spot. Of course, an oak or maple tree would also be big and wide and shady. But over the past few days we were then also allowed to lazily pick nuts, harvest we really didn’t have to do anything for. Thank you walnut tree, you are by far our best tree.

    Have you heard of the term ‘digital nomad’? These are people who telework, but not from a fixed ‘home’. By working online, they are free to choose where they work – as long as there is a good internet connection. This allows them to work from Spain for a few months and then from Thailand…

  • To be or not to airbnb

    ByGaby

    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.

  • Ski-area Eplény

    ByGert

    Hungary has no Alps, but does offer some ski resorts, such as the Mátra Mountains and the ski arena of Eplény, 30 minutes from Budapest. Although the altitude is limited (500 m, 175 m elevation gain), there are multiple slopes, elevators and ski facilities, including evening lighting and ski rentals. Due to its small size, waiting times are minimal, allowing for smooth skiing. The area is too small for a real ski vacation, but ideal for regular practice. In summer, it is transformed into a mountain bike park.
