Lovely hills <3

Hehe precious

this is beautiful, I can imagine being there

Life is very stressful right now, please send cute pictures of animals or beautiful landscapes or tales of secret adventures

such a great set of stories

It's weird that "I'm up for this" and "I'm down for this" mean the same thing
