The good life is a thankful life.
Sitting at the Lake Terrace restaurant of the Schloss Fuschl, it’s impossible not to feel grateful. My father, who survived economic hardship, a war, and spent his remaining years in a factory until suffering a stroke at the age of 59, looked me in the eye from his wheelchair and without the slightest bit of irony, said, “it’s been a good life.” That I am permitted to enjoy pleasures my parents could never dream of is a blessing for which I am grateful every day. Watches are merely the icing on the cake.

A Day In The Life Of Sherman.... Living The Good Life
Some might think Sherman is 'just a clock', but they'd be wrong. Very wrong! He is soooo much more, and in many ways too! Here, let's take a stroll through a day in Sherman's life. Good morning Sherman, hope you slept well last night. His golden glow brin...

Wow, that’s an incredible lifestyle ! Bonus points awarded for making me laugh out loud 🤣
A most humble thanks.
If there is reincarnation, the goal is to come back as Sherman. []~(￣▽￣)~*
Cue: 🎶 Ryan Paris 🎵 “We’re walking like in the dolce vita, this time we got it right. “ 😃
Forgive my trip down memory lane when the roller disco was hip and leg warmers were cool!! 😉 Hello Captain. Interesting theme this month. I was wondering how to participate. Hope you like my definitions of the dolce vita! Hope it’s not too pic heavy. Love...
You got the good life Kurt 😎…
Beautiful locations, the outdoors and the occasional pint🍻 Best regards Captain
Those are this summer’s onions from our allotment.
A hamper for mother in law’s 80th 🍻 ...
No, not a fan of pickling
we hang the onions and garlic in the shed. We do slow roast tomatoes 👌🏻 everything else is prepped, blanched and frozen.
My pleasure Abel, thanks for looking.
Plenty of vegetables ready to see us into the autumn/winter. All the best, Kurt.
Dolce Vita is a state of mind 👌🏻👏🏻🍹
These are truly wonderful and your life just as it should be 🙌🏻
Hello Kurt! Wonderful shots and beautiful places. Are those shots taken in same place? That semi-round beach is just awesome!!
I love places near the sea and these places really reflect the mood of Good Life! Keep enjoying it! Best cordial regards, Abel
Pictures 1,6,7,8 and 9 are all of Chesil Beach
at different points of its 18 mile length. The round ripple beach is Man O War bay near Lulworth about a half hour drive or 1.5 hour row. That picture was taken by my stepdaughter waiting for us to arrive by boat a year or so ago. Boats picture is of Brid...

Your definition of Dolce Vita is perfect.
Love the colour composition of your second photo. Cheers Thomas
