What I really like about living in a rural area, is the regularity of everything that is happening during the year. Of course, I do have a planner, I get information into my house, and I know what season we\u2019re in, but surrounded by farmland, it just seems a little bit more down to earth, literally. <\/strong><\/h2>

This week, when I was still hanging around in my hammock, enjoying the sun during less hot days, one of the main events in our Savinjska Dolina started, the harvest of the hops! Growing hops is a long time tradition in our valley and an interesting one. Almost everybody drinks beer, but not everybody knows how one of the main ingredients grows and is processed to be delivered to the breweries. <\/p>
