Creative Solitude

"I lived in solitude in the country and noticed 

how the monotony of quiet life

 stimulates the creative mind".

Albert Einstien

When I read these few words written by Albert Einstien I thought of a place we stayed this time last year on the South Island of New Zealand. It is called Riverrun lodge and it is situated in the heart of New Zealand's Southern Alps. It is picturesesque, quiet and a place where the mind can just wander....

I can tell you now, a glass of the local New Zealand sauvignon blanc at sunset is beyond description.

Gorgeous country and sheep are in sight for miles.

You will find peace and quiet in this part of the world.

Every once and a while, quiet life in the country can be a good thing!
