 I know, it sounds a bit cliche by now. You've heard this over and over again. That is the little things that we take for granted that suddenly become so cherished when they are taken from us abruptly. We've all been going through it and some still are. I mean, being locked up at home and having to endure the things that we could otherwise escape whenever we wanted. However, if you're in Ghana, the story is a bit different now. So last Sunday, my wife and I decided to drive out and spend the day somewhere else. We are going to the Krupe Teh Garden. Trying to get away from the house for a while. It's just, I mean, it's not that bad, but it's good to just go out and see something bigger than your four walls. I just have a bit of a breather before the week begins. So that's what we're doing today. We're going to the Krupe Teh Garden. It's one of our favourite places, actually. So yeah. Plus, it was a long weekend with an eat holiday, so why not? These are things that we used to do every once in a while until the lockdown happened. And so it meant more to us that we had the chance to just experience it again. Now, the interesting thing is, while we thought that we were getting away for some peace and quiet, it looked like a lot of people needed that too. When we arrived at the Krupe Teh Garden, it wasn't crowded, no. It's just more people than we're used to, in these times. I guess everybody was also looking for that Sunday getaway. Yeah, not just us. But I must say though, the Krupe Teh Garden is just so worth it. The greenery, the breeze, the carefully planned out landscape, and having the beach close by, you can't go wrong. It's not in the city centre, so it makes you feel like a trip, which is fine because it adds to the experience of getting that, you know, the way you feel from the busy city. I mentioned the food. The food is one of the main reasons why we go to this place. And to be honest, for a big eater like me, I wish the portions were bigger, but it is so good. We love the pasta here, and I had my usual special, my wife had the pesto pasta. And after the food, we took it easy, lounging, and it was peaceful. It was just peaceful. Present and taking it all in. And normally, the distance to get there from home makes it feel like a bit of a hassle, but in this case, we left home slightly earlier than usual at midday in order to have enough time to just be and enjoy the place for a few hours. The change of scenery or the change of scene does a lot for your senses. It's some of these little things that we take for granted until they're not there anymore. My wife had missed swimming in the pool over there, for example, and I guess everything came together pretty well. It was a well-deserved change, but all of this short story is you should remember one of these days to take some time off and enjoy some of the experiences that you've shoved in the closet somewhere because life is happening in some overwhelming way that is gradually becoming normal. I think it's not even need to travel. It could be something you've not done in a while. Give into those nostalgic moments from time to time, and it would do a lot for your mind and soul.
