i open the door, and this is what i see.
i step outside.
i climb the stairs, and am greeted by the number one enemy of our country's flora (and agriculture); the iberia forest slug (brown slug, killer slug). not native, and therefore, no natural enemies. they're everywhere, and they eat everything.
further up the stairs, a more pleasant greeting.
and right across the narrow street - our sweet neighbour's house. which, admittedly, i would rather live in. (shh - don't tell my house. she's old and fragile i might just collapse (literally!) under the weight of such unfriendly utterings.)
i turn to my old and worn house, walk back down the stairs.
(that's a pretty weird shot, isn't it? if you didn't know there was a door, i mean.)
ah, yes. if you want to see how my city looks like from a mountain top (not the highest, though), go here.

Thanks for taking us on a little walk around your place...those little log stools are beautiful and look so at home in the greenery...you house looks like a sweet doll's house...

amazing views. I always enjoy a tour of your corner.The houses and landscape are like a magical faraway place :)
(but not the slugs.One of the creepiet creatures in my opinion...shudder)
Nice seeing your corner. We get grey monster slugs, and they love my lettuce:(
Beautiful photos! I like the last one. Enjoy! xoxo
So lush and beautiful! I never thought I'd see the day when I was happy to see slugs again, but here I am. Thrilled by the sight. I do believe our cities are sisters. Makes me happy :-)
A beautiful corner view of the world! The slugs and snails have a city life too!
Wow, gorgeous! I think your corner is beautiful. And I love the comment about not offending your house. So funny.
Beautiful images, I love taking a step into your corner of the world and appreciating it's loveliness.
what a beautiful part of the world!
What a beautiful garden. And your house looks fantastic. Those snails - yeek!
You have a beautiful garden.

So beautiful, lovely pictures, lovely home!
What a fabulous post! I love it, I love all your photos. About the slugs: they really eat everything! My parents used to grow some veggies in their garden but the slugs would eat most of them.
Thank you for sharing,
Kasia

Fin lesning en sein kveld rett før senga :) Liker godt å stikke innom bloggen din - god lesning og fine fotos! Biter meg også merke i din utmerkede musikksmak he he, likner på min :D
God natt!
Great pictures, sorry about the snails. I have been told that if you put beer in a pie tin and make it level with the ground snails will go in but not come out. Might be worth a try.
Nice to meet you, I love your blog. I's on my list! I'll sure come back.
beautiful photos! and i love those reflections on the window:)
Lovely. Amazing city shot as well.
Bjørgvin Marknad 5.-7. juni..kommer dere?
So beautiful. What a BIG slug, I have no doubt that they could do a lot of damage.
Your house looks as though it has character, ugh we live in a house built in the 70's...not attractive! However we love the yard, so I'm not complaining!
Lisa :)
wonderful
i love the color blue
and your house looks sweet enough for me
and that aerial shot is gorgeous
Vakkert! Så frodig og fint, og bildene dine er så klare og kunstneriske. Ikke slik vanlig a4 liksom ;)
paradisiac !
Love the photos! This is my first time participating in a Corner View and I'm super excited to find your blog! I cannot wait to go check out more of your blog!
Best wishes from Morocco,
