Over the Hill

#Birthdays#milestones#doors#walkingtrails


Well it is no secret that this year (next month) I will be celebrating a special birthday ... 

My personal odometer is rolling over into a new decade.

Last year I celebrated while I was in France with new and old friends with many meals out, aperitifs and of course some good tasting wine.


My friend, Madame M. explained that in her area of Belgium they have a saying when you celebrate one of these birthdays ... You must "Veranderen uw voordeur" which literally translates to "Change your front door".

At first you might think it refers to changing your looks which it can if you want it to, but I think it has more to do with your outlook on life and other goals you may want to set for yourself.

So I have tweeked my looks a bit with a new hairstyle and some colour, but my real changing of my front door is the addition of walking in my daily life...

And in June, my goal is to walk a section of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostella ... along side a dear friend!

This will be the real changing of my front door!


                        

And I don't think it will surprise you that I have taken many photos of doors during our travels...
