So after my nephew and niece spent two weekends at my place, it was my time to return the visit. I live by the sea, they live up in a hill, overlooking a little village in the mountain.

Here:

I think that the main difference between me and my nephews is that I consider animals as pets, and they see them as food, or in the best case, as something to get some kind of profit from. They have the usual farm animals: pigs, rabbits, hens... everything but cows.

They have ponies to have fun with:

They have midget goats, which are really cute. They have been present when most of them have been born. They've played with them but then they have no problem in holding them tight when they are sacrificed (apparently, they are yummy :? ).

They have dogs to go hunting:

I got to see how those are trained to mark the place where the pigeon has fallen, without harming it a bit:

Here is the result of such training:

Ewwww, right?

By the way, remember Elur? She's grown a tiny bit.

It was the right time of the year so we went to pick chestnuts:

I thought that the bigger, the better. Then I was told that the biggest ones are the Japanese kind of them, and those are the last ones that the animals eat. Apparently, medium ones (St. Michael's variety) are they yummier.

I loved walking across those forests, it was so very beautiful. By the way, this place was on sale and I absolutely fell in love with it:

As per usual, we had some home fun. Luckily enough no "Party Disney" this time. We played "Know Europe" instead:

This time, my niece gave me this set of fridge magnets as a present:

And the next weekend, I kept on fulfilling my auntie duties attending my #5 nephew's 4th birthday. He is my godson, and it feels like it was yesterday when I held him in my arms during his baptize. I also stayed over for the weekend:

My godson and his brother, nephew #3

That was all. Now that the school year has began they are busier and they enjoy taking part in many activities during the weekend, so it was good that we managed to share some quality time before the summer was over.

Hugs for all :)
