Spring on the Bodensee

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
― Pablo Neruda

Seepark, Kreuzlingen – Switzerland

One of the things which I love about living and working next to Lake Constance is that every morning whist I take my 15 minute walk to the office I am blessed with such a scenic view, it really helps me focus on the day ahead.

Prior to living next to Lake Constance (Bodensee), I resided in central London and my journey to university took me past some inspiring buildings and status some of which included The Cenotaph (Whitehall), Buckingham palace, Parliament and my favorite was the Wellington Memorial which had the inscriptions:

“…his brave companions in armsthis statue of Achillescast from cannon taken in the victories of Salamanca, Vittoria, Toulouse, and Waterloois…”

But despite the inspiring commute, on most days the famous London weather (rain) did not allow me to really appreciate what was to offer.
