Ven
A half hour away by ferry from Landskrona …
Is the lovely little island of Ven.
Where we borrowed bicycles from our B&B hosts (Arianell and Coriander rode in the basket)
We visited lighthouses,
and sat at the 12th century church of St Ibb, looking out at the Øresund towards Denmark.
At the edges of the fields we found so many flowers like these little blue blossoms among the Scarlet Pimpernel…
And picked a tussie mussie of bigger flowers to take back to the B&B.
The girls sat in a wheat field, but combine harvesters were out collecting grain so they didn’t stay long !
We cycled almost all the way around
the island – along shady trails…
…and sunny fields.
We found a waffle wagon in the middle of a field! Rhubarb sauce on crispy waffles, stuffed with vanilla ice cream – oh my!
Our B&B was in an old school house…
…and after a day of experiencing the loveliness, slow pace, and friendliness of Ven it was nice to come back to a clean and quiet corner of the island. We stayed here for two nights, and loved every minute.
We drank cups of tea, visited the museum of Thcho Brahe, an early 17th century astronomer who lived on Ven, and saw a hedgehog one evening at dusk. Ven was wonderful – a quiet peaceful beautiful place.
Quimper Hittys 
This is such a peaceful and of course beautiful, narrative.
It was a really beautiful and peaceful interlude. Such a lovely little island, I would really recommend a visit.
Sounds absolutely heavenly.
It surely was!
Oh, the light is marvellous, brilliant and clean. No hint of pollution or haze, everything purely itself and pristine. Enviable!
It is so beautiful here and calm…we are so glad to have been able to visit!
That looks wonderful and a perfect place to rest after the brain exertion of learning new skills.
It was a lovely restorative interlude, and refreshing to brains, muscles and little wooden pegs!
what a restful and restorative interlude. I so enjoyed riding along with the wooden girls on your bicycle journey. Lovely.
Coriander and Arianell imagined your young Flavia intrepidly whizzing around with them along the bike paths!
Gasp that is so beautiful and peaceful. The Hittys look like they are having an amazing time!
It was exactly that – beautiful and peaceful! We all had an amazing time, it was very pleasant.
