I just came back from Lithuania where I took short trip to Kuršių Nerija National Park (my favourite place in the world) with my friends and Vickie’s parents. I’ve been coming here since childhood, and even now it feels quietly familiar and endlessly inspiring. The cool thing about Kuršių Nerija is that it is situated on Curonian Spit surrounded by Baltic Sea on one side and Curonian Lagoon on the other. I especially like nature there. Subtle seaside colours have been inspiration to me for years and it still amazes me every time! However… I will start with the village which is quite cute too xx

A view of a charming village in Kuršių Nerija National Park, featuring traditional wooden houses, lush greenery, and a wooden fence.
A quaint wooden house with a sloping roof is seen next to a red building, both surrounded by a lush garden filled with blooming peonies and greenery. A white picket fence partially encircles the garden area.
A wooden shed with neatly stacked firewood underneath a roof, featuring a small window above and a green fence in front.

Because of so much water around the villages, local cousine is mainly based on fish. The most popular is smoked fish (all kinds) and my favourite is fish soup ;-b

Sandy Dunes are other cool things to visit!

So many fun activities at the beach!

My summer read is Anna Karenina! I like to read the book before watching the movie 🙂

A close-up of knitting needles and a ball of cream-colored yarn on a textured blanket, with some bagels placed nearby.

Not forgetting to knit of course! Vickie’s mum showed me how to knit lace. I wonder where shall I use  my new still? New summery slippers or a jumper? I will let you know once I decide!

Good things come to an end. I had to take a bus home 🙁

I am wishing you a wonderful Summer Holiday season! xx
