Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had the “HHH”-challenge, so this week we’ll take “i” – I’m sure you’ll also find a a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “i”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “i”!!! Myself I’ll visualize the subject “Ivy House”:
IVY HOUSE
When my mother tried to show me this house on the island of Rügen inside, it was closed, a closed museum on a Wednesday. Years after my mother had died (suicide), I remembered her little wish to show me the interior of this house. I had to search very long in many villages to find that little town Gingst again after ten years. The museum was open now, I stepped inside – and – surprise – it was not forbidden to take photos…

I love ivy covered walls of houses, they just seem so cozy. It took a lot of research on your part to find that house again; how good that you could finally see the inside of it.

Hi there Frizz, I think I’ve seen this Ivy House previously from your sharing. Glad to see it again. Here’s my I contribution this week, what else but the “Island of Boracay.” 🙂
