Yet another breakfast view
Yes, summer is definitely here and with it the life at Pruga as we planned and imagined… Quick overview in pictures of the last month and a half. We are enjoying it all, guests are lovely, breakfast routine has been established. In it there is a time for making the cake, setting the table, buying fresh bread/fruit/cheese and even for a quick coffee in Pazin before we come back and serve it. That is largely thanks to our perfect guests who all wanted breakfast after 9 – people after our own hearts.
Building work
There was so much rain and cold this spring that we finished pergola only towards end of May – seems like ages ago…
Is it too high?
Pergola before the roof

Pergola detail
Another flea market find found its place
Finished
Peony
There was a peony bush that was dug out and over by the builders many times during the build and I was sure it was gone. Still, it showed up again with only one, albeit glorious flower.
One and only peony
Food
We had some interesting food…
Chanterelles found in the village (not by us, but was a gift from a neighbour)
Garlic scapes lemon pasta – really nice – who knew you can eat that
Grilled broad beans – never had them grilled before – tasted a bit like edamame – lovely and smokey
Artichokes – found at local market – nice but too much work for too little pleasure I found
Own beans (!!!)
Elderflower cordial – best recipe ever if you like it lemony
DIY
Yes, there still was quite a lot…
Shelving to be for our apartment – still not in a state of sharing photos, but reasonably functional
Sofa table
Pergola table – very proud of this one
Clothes lines – friends told us that the laundry should be permanent feature
Child labour
I found that one great things about kids is that they really are willing to help…
Tying tomatoes
Finally, a BBQ
1st BBQ

Contentment
I do not approve of this
very natural, stony, high I like it
Washing is a permanent feature here. LOVE Van and the kitten, and love your beautiful summer scenes and huge breakfasts! It looks very peaceful and totally heavenly X
Thank you babe! Let’s plan your visit 🙂
pretty as a postcard 🙂
velika pusa od maje & nele tebi i mici maci miu miu mujs, jako nam se svidja (max je pak malo suzdrzan po ovom drugom pitanju, sta da mu radimo;))
Naša maca je velika frendica s psima, pogotovu ako joj dozvole da ih gnjavi – a polunaš Miki joj dozvoli nevjerojatne stvari. Šarmirala bi ona i Maxa 🙂 xxxx
I see you with my mental eye, procrastinating with writing the new blog entry.
