Plants and flowers

My daughter’s plants nursery.
Today is a religious Bank holiday.
Yesterday I went to a garden centre where my daughter bought me 4 peonies for Mother’s Day at the end of month. We my customers’ card I had some discounts and I bought her some bulbs for her garden, but she is very fond of indoor plants as well.
So today we went to Desjardins, had our lunch there and then went to buy what we needed.
Then I decided to buy the plants she was looking at the day before and we decided to phone her and drive 30 kms bring her the plants.






I bought two black eye Susan 
It was cold and we had big showers and then sun shine 
This is the inside of her garden house

Then we visited her shared garden with her vegetable 
It’s a bit late for sweet peas but I will try.
In between showers we went to “Jumieges Abbey”



It was again a busy day!
Next week the wood stove will be installed in the fireplace and I ordered wood for the winter.
Hope you had a nice day!

Grandma’s day.


Maxime and William enjoying life! The two little brothers 
Were at see world Abu Dhabi and enjoyed to be outside, the school and nursery are closed at the moment for the second time.
Yesterday they were jumping on the couch and I said be careful and William told me: “ don’t worry grandma” 😂 



Hello Friends,

Now the long weekend is over and this morning I did a lot of cleaning while the laundry is  in the machine. Washing and drying.

Yesterday we stayed home and did some tidying. I had a chat with our two little boys, they have been to Abu Dhabi with their parents and some friends trying to live normally for the children. They enjoyed themselves at see world, slept at Batman’s hotel and brought some souvenirs from their stay. They were very happy and now William is also taking part in the conversation!

As you can see I am resting and having a cocoa in my Mrs Emma Bridgewater mug! With the promise we did on our wedding! ( not to forget 😂) and there is one for Mr too!




Bandit has made him a sort of nest. We saw the vet on Saturday and we will certainly have the result of the biopsy end of week.
On Saturday afternoon I went to get more flowers for my vase. Now  I have to arrange the flowers in the vase.

I wish you all the best for this week!

Another day, another discovery !

Hello friends!
Another beautiful sunny day and another castle visit! “Le chateau de Beaumesnil ”  a castle is from the 17 Century and next to it the green done ( under the vegetation are the rest  foundations of a Middle Age castle 1056. The pictures of the castle should come first but blogger decided not!

The kitchen with the fireplace where they roasted the meat
This was turning the meat while it was roasting 
The well to get water
The copper saucepans

The kitchen table  for the employees 
The laundry 

The library



This is the castle not very far from where we live.

The moat with water this time!


We sat on a bench there for a while surrounded by  hens and singing 🐓 roosters! The big  vegetation dome are the remains of the Middle Age one.


A very romantic place to sit in front of such a view!
The washing place.

We had a very good time!
