A phone free morning routine is a good thing considering how much time we spend on devices these days. I like the sound of your breakfast...I could eat croissants all day! Lol.
I also know what golden hour means and, as I am usually up fairly early, I get to enjoy it. My city is on the coast (Adelaide, South Australia) and so I get to watch a lot of sunsets from the beach also.

I was born and raised in a small town in the Barossa Valley, a famous vineyard and wine-making region, not unlike Tuscany actually, and my heart is away from the city and in wide open spaces, but the city is where I work and it's good too.
I too love open spaces, but I believe that a good compromise can be found between this and the city. "The golden hour" I think is a very good habit, I have to be able to make it permanent in my life.
