Rocks, water, olives, and thyme

I start my hike in the morning from a hiking and climbing area somewhere in the Ardèche.

After a not too long distance, I find the perfect bathing spot in the clear river. The best thing about cold bathing is that it completely rejuvenates you, making you feel full of energy and in harmony with nature...

In this mood, I continue over rocks, past thyme bushes and olive trees until I am back home in the early evening, ending the hiking day with a dinner. I have pasta with homemade tomato sauce, which Florianne gave me, and avocado, enhanced with freshly gathered thyme. I am slowly becoming a herbal witch.
