My story about love for nature:




Text:
When I was 12, my mother started working again. My younger sister and I were allowed to go to our grandparents after school. Practically we lived in the same house. We got a delicious lunch and did our homework afterwards.

Our grandparents always told us great stories from their childhood. The cities were not that crowded, there were not many cars, they had little toys and they were satisfied. The children spent the whole day in the garden, in the meadows, in the woods or on the playground. In winter, my grandmother had to run knee-deep through the snow for an hour to get to school. You can not imagine that today.

My sister and I had a nice childhood. In the summer our grandparents put a pool on their balcony and we went swimming with their foster children. Through guardianship, every few years they met new children, new cultures, new countries and languages. That was exciting! We did not need a TV, life was colorful enough. My grandparents and my parents grew a lot of fruit, vegetables and salad in the garden. That was fun, especially the harvest.

Our parents made with us many excursions and walks in nature. We visited our zoo, ran for hours in the forest to look for mushrooms or berries, watched planes at the nearby airfield. We looked at a lot of documentary about the wildlife. We traveled to some European countries by car.

My children are also very interested in their environment. There is still life without TV, computer or smartphone.



Our story takes place in about the 1940's and 80's and 90's.

January 31: Then + Now:




Text:
It always means that you notice how quickly time passes when you have children. As a kid I found the saying silly. Meanwhile, I know that the saying is true.
Then: Somehow you do not enjoy the time with your little kids enough. All the achievements, such as crawling, learning to walk and talk, go by way too fast. But we have a lot of photos and videos to remember the good times.
Now: My daughters are now 11 and 14 years old.
Your independence is great. It's great to see what they have done so far. They take care of their friendships and pets, are good at school, have good manners and enjoy life. Only photography is slowly becoming more difficult. Sometimes it is stupid for both. My husband and I are sometimes embarrassed. That's why I enjoy the few moments when it's different. Then they talk about their worries, fears, ideas and plans, we cuddle or make nonsense with each other.
