When you think of it, you have not seen them since January, the month crammed with various holidays. Then came three months of routine life which flew by in a twinkling of an eye. In the meantime, spring came, and the mini-vacation was an opportunity to go back to Mother Nature. Some of us visited our grannies and went to the country, others went to relatives' weekend houses or simply to a day picnic to Avala mountain. Wherever you went, you have inevitably seen people gathered around a barbecue or a spit, the scene that truly depicts us.
Any occasion is good enough to gather with friends, make a feast and spend a lovely day in nature.
In some more fortunate times I often muse over, for this kind of 'lengthy' weekend we used to go to a mountain or seaside, even to go abroad, which nowadays seems to be the privilege of a very few - people we envy. Of course, we can hope that a day will come for us to spend our vacations and holidays again at a seaside or abroad. Of course, a lot of us simply went to a nearby park, which was in a way the return to Mother Nature. I am one of those. The 'nature' of my job would not allow longer absence and does not recognise national or religious holidays or any other red-letter days.
