Chestnuts Sunday

in OCD3 years ago (edited)

Today is a sad day. The country is struggling with COVID and authorities just decided to start with a curfew from 10 pm to 6 am as more and more people are having to visit the hospitals.

As people are expecting another lockdown soon, many are going to the national parks and they are all crowded. We decided to just go get some chestnuts as it is a tradition to eat them by November 1st.

I discovered this place about 1:30hr from home when I did a nice mountain biking trip with some friends a few years ago. The place is full of chestnut trees and at this time of the year, they are all over. The place is by a reservoir and I was able to take this shot from the top of the mountain.

Today I was expecting some crowd but it was not too bad. We did not catch as many as other years but I love picking them and cooking them at home in the afternoon. Although they were not too big, we ended up picking this many from just 1/2hr.

Bona collita!

Hmm, things are ramping up with the Corona-Chan up your way? We're opening up a little more each day, State borders opening and we're taking international entries...Which I disagree with. I have seen many parts of Europe starting to get a bit out of control again...A bad situation, financially, emotionally and from a health perspective for sure.

P.s. I'd eat chestnuts with you any day. :)

Man, you're gonna have to spend a week in town to eat all we are thinking about 😂

Haha...Well, I reckon I'm at eleven out of ten on the good eater scale so...I'm up to the task!
