What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a secret getaway? Of course, the first thing most people think of is me, forbidden love. But that's not the case, when I'm bored with crowds and loud noises, when I'm overwhelmed, I want to get away and it's the way of not wanting to be reached by anyone for a few days.
When I feel like this, my getaway is my village in the countryside where I was born. Normally, I go very often, but only for the day. Spending the night or camping at the top is my preferred route in between. I used one of those choices and went to my village for a few days.
Their livelihood is mostly pine and olive trees. The surrounding mountain ranges are covered with pine and olive trees. Pruning large pine trees is a very dangerous job in terms of collecting the cones on it. Olive trees are easier to process than pine trees.
There are also groups that choose honey production. Bees constantly carry their hives according to the climate and blooming periods. The aim here is to obtain better quality and more honey. The profession of beekeeping is a job that requires endurance and pain. Because there is a risk of being stung by hundreds of bees. You should not have an allergic reaction to bee venom.
Livestock is already the choice of almost every house. Small or large cattle are found in the garden of every house. Here are the goats at feeding time. Each of them is waiting for their turn. They are so cute.
It is a small settlement, which consists of families with good income and everyone knows each other. You do not feel the heat very much in the summer, but the winter months are quite harsh. The nearest city is an hour and a half by car. There is no transportation problem as almost everyone has a car of their own.
You see the cone of the pine tree, which is one of the main sources of income. If it is an immature, quality product when mature, it can find buyers for an average of 1 and a half dollars. This figure was enough to explain the value of pine trees.
The surrounding of the village is covered with mountain ranges consisting of difficult and rocky rocks. Whichever way you look, you will see this view. It has a terrain structure that is frequently preferred by those who engage in hiking and climbing sports.
Walking in the fresh air and then leaving yourself in the green is one of my favorite activities in the village. The time spent away from city life, noise and air pollution without fear of corona and most importantly without wearing a mask is very meaningful to me. I will do this over and over and I will never tire of it.
This is my power plant. Specially grown honey and pine nuts in the village. You should definitely eat a mixture of both. Sometimes I think about settling down here and never coming back, but when I think of pending jobs, I come across the fact that I have to postpone this dream until I retire. I visit my village where I was born and lived until the age of 7 at every opportunity. I already have my house, garden and relatives there. Each is their own boss. They don't actually have a job, but they don't need them either. The gardens and animals they already have give them more than their annual needs.
I hope you liked my village and I was able to reflect my village love to you. I love nature and natural life. It gives me peace and happiness. It meets my most important energy needs, it is good for my mental health.
Everyone around me, especially my family, knows that I want to be buried in the village when I die. It is not clear when death will come, I thought it would be useful for those around me to know already. Who wouldn't want their grave to have a view like this? I want this in my eternal home, in my eternal sleep.
It looks a beautiful place. Do young people leave and work in the city I wonder?
