“My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature.” Claude Monet
When we moved to O Rosal two years ago today, we never anticipated being so encapsulated by the beauty of nature. In May we took a 4 day trip to Paris, while we were there we took a trip up to Giverny to experience Monet’s garden. Leaving his home I was intrigued to learn more about his story.

The Nitty Gritty of Country Life
The region of Galicia in Spain has the most breathtaking landscapes I’ve ever seen, the vineyards, gorgeous sunrises, picturesque beaches, the forest of eucalyptus, Monterey pines, moss covered stone and we have even dined under a pergola of grapevines. It really looks like something out of a fairy tale and we often stop and say, “ I can’t believe we live here!” However, with all the beautiful nature and humidity, brings lots of pests, mold, fungi, and plant diseases.
