This and that…

Hello friends!
Today it is sunny but not very warm. We went to get wood from the garage with our trolley and I lit a fire for the day.
On Saturday I brought two books one on the secret language of seasons in Japan
And one on Pumpkins 🎃 and Autumn a cosy book for the season.
 
I have wood under the fireplace but also ready on the trolley. I must watch the fire along the day and put some news logs 🪵 

This is our Maple tree in the sun. I take pictures because it doesn’t last long!

This is a garment I like short sleeves but very cosy for Autumn. Mr L bought it for me in the Netherlands.

Each year I am knitting scarves from different colours to match my coats and when I don’t need them anymore in summer I give them to charity shops. I am knitting my third one.

Soon for Xmas we will spend our Christmas in Bruges in Belgium ! I have already books the hotel and kennel for Bandit.
Four days in Belgium and  visits to the Netherlands.









These pictures are from our first Xmas there!
Today I’ll visit blogs .
It will soon be the weekend and we will have sun 🌞!

An ordinary Fall day.

Hello Friends 

Today it will be a day out !
First I will go to the hairdresser and then do some errands. Fall is a nice season for me in fact the best! Last Saturday I bought some new books to read and wool  to knit (by the fire of course!)
It’s time to cook all sorts of pumpkins and I have one small one for us two to cook and tomato soup.

Look at our Maple! Such a beautiful colour! 



 
I have ordered a wood trolley on Amazon and Mr L has built it before going to work this morning so it’ll be easy for us to get the wood from the garage.

Now we are feeding 10 pigeons and my Robin comes to visit me each day.

I hope you enjoy your day! 🥰

A gloomy day! But.!

Hello, hello!
During the  gloominess of our country, we decided to go out see our favourite shops in quite  little towns. 
First we went to a perfume shop, then my two clothes shops. On of them is belonging to a friend of mine. In one I found a pair of trousers that needed to be shortened by a seamstress, I will get it next Saturday. Then we had a latte Machiato
And a small chestnut biscuit. 🍪 
At my friend shop I found a kaki corduroy
pair of trousers and jacket.
We went to a big bookstore and I found two books and my husband one.
We left this town and went to the other one to have a latte coffee and eggy bread with vanilla ice cream and amaretto! So good.😊 
We had a light lunch of my carrots soup and yogurt for lunch!

The best part of the day was at the gas station!
Have you ever seen such a shirt! 
It is so gloomy 🙁 but look at that! Full of colours!

 “ Peace and Love”❤️ do you remember these years? Enjoy this beautiful shirt!!!

( by the way the storm is now going north)

Hot chocolate and cosy mystery

Hello friends!

Today we’re having a storm and wind. Better stay inside! A minute ago while I was putting a log in the fire I saw my Robin that was watching me as if he wanted to say hello and show me he was alive.

This afternoon I was sorting out some decorations and remembered I had these three heads. I find them funny especially two of them. I had them as a birthday present.



Another cup with a hot chocolate and a cosy mystery book!





 Have nice cosy day! 🥰

Cocooning



Hello Friends!
I had my morning visitors today!
Yesterday I rescued my red robin who bumped into the window and was on the ground not feeling well. I put it in a card board box a little one that was containing my sweet potatoes. I have kept him on my side talked to him for about one hour inside . Before it was dark and by the time birds are going to sleep I have put the box open outside and I was happy to see him flying away.
He cooperated and was very calm listening to me.
It was a nice time in my day! 
This afternoon will be calm knitting by the fire and drinking my coffee with a Fall chocolate from Belgium 
This is one of my favourite cups and saucers

The weather becomes colder and I lit the fire this morning the temperature inside by the fire is 21.5 degrees C and about 19 in the rest of the house.

At the same time I am watching the midday news of my country!
I wish you a nice day. 🥰

What do you think of that? 

 Today I had workers at home.🏠 the ancient owners had left the gas bottles in the garden I always thought it was not very nice in our backyard. So here it is I have now a little cabinet to hide the gas bottles with some tiles on the roof. Now I will be able to arrange the garden.

I wish you a good week enjoy!☺️
