Preparing winter!

Hello Friends!

Our holidays are approaching soon!

We want to relax and rest during those days.

The first picture on the left right is  Etretat in Normandy and the sea 🌊 is our coast.

Today is the first school day!

Our new electric and alarmed garage door was installed yesterday. We must do the p garage paint now ..

Today was a big wood delivery for our fireplace stove. ( to save oil from our boiler that the price is going up and up the same for our gasoline)

 I am waiting for winter! I am ready for 🥶!

A quite Sunday.

Hello Friends!

It is still hot for the end of August. We had our breakfast this morning when Mr L went to get some bread and croissants!🥐 

I am really looking for a cooler weather and Autumn !🍂 We have been having 5 heatwaves since May and very little water. Now we are having rain and thunderstorms!

The grass begins to be green again but many plants died despite the daily watering.

Now I am preparing our holidays, but before, tomorrow a firm is coming to change the garage door. We will have a new electric one. In the afternoon another company is coming and on Tuesday another wood delivery will arrive for our new stove in the fireplace to save the very expensive oil from the boiler prices being going up and up.

I will try to visit blogs in between this week ‘s appointments. 

See you soon! 🥰 

 

Some news of the grandparents.

Hello friends!

The little family went back to Dubai after one month. Now it’s time for grandpa and grandma to go away on holiday!

This will be our hotel and we will have a terrace to take our breakfast outside!

This is the beach which is on the same peninsula 

Where our son and family went for a few days.

They were on a little island for four days.
 

With a fortress 

We are going by the sea first and then on Guernesey and Jersey the Anglo- Normand islands. We may finally go back  for a little stay in the Netherlands.

Before we have workers changing the garage door  to put an electric one  which goes with our electric gate. We are getting old and it will be useful.

My husband will be retired in four months so we are counting the days!

For the moment I have to rest after a busy month and prepare our holidays.

Take good care of yourself here Covid is back again!

❤️ see you soon.

Our little travellers 🧳

Our two little travellers are off to Tatihou island ( Viking name) for some days and before they stopped to Caen Memorial on their way.

They will go on the island by amphibious boat.

⛴️ when the tide is low the boat uses his wheels and when it’s high tide  it is sailing! I used to take our children there and they loved it!

They will sleep on the island, there is a hotel and restaurant on it now.

It will be a good experience for them “ a mysterious island”! 😂 

This is the coolest place in France so they’ll be fine! It’s called Cotentin and I love it .

We are going to there as part of our September holidays and may move there in the future 

When grandpa will retire!

On pyjamas on the beach! 😂 

The fortress 

This is the famous boat! So funny!

Our two students 

In Rouen having fun!

And at Caen world war 2 Memorial .

I will be following their little holidays from home as grandma feels very tired but when she hears:” grandma I love you” she forgets her tiredness and keep going on!

I had an invitation but I think they will enjoy those days with their parents and grandma will prepare their return and their going home next Sunday.

Grandma will make chocolate cakes as grandmas do!

See you soon!
 

Sea side day!

Hello friends!

Yesterday was a day at the sea to try to get some fresh air but no way! It was so hot, too hot for me! 🥵 

Maxime on the pebble beach !

We all went to the restaurant and I had my favourite dessert 🍨 SO GOOD! 😊 

See you later! Enjoy your Summer!

 

Indian garden from the Chateau!

Hello Friends !

I have just a few minutes peace so I just wanted to show the Indian garden of the castle that we can visit only once a year. I think it is beautiful and I love it!😍 

It is the chateau when it is green!

I couldn’t show you the inside because it was crowded and it was suffocating!

But this was at Christmas “ much cooler!”

Today is the hottest day of the week! 5th heat wave !

We are going to the sea side tomorrow the children will have a swim and then I booked a restaurant and we will take the children to a fair.

I ‘m afraid I have to go and look at books with Maxime!

See you soon 🥰 

A family outing
