I started a day full of touching moments and small pleasures in the charming village where time appears to slow down and the air is fresh with nature’s perfume. My spouse and I decided to start the day with a trip to the neighboring farm, where we got to pet cows and experience the peace of country life as the sun rose above the gently sloping hills. Calm washed over us, a reminder of the beauty in the most basic pleasures, as the earthy scent of the fields and the gentle lowing of the cows around us.
