Sun flowers and painting.

Hello Friends!

I had the idea of today’s post on “ Eva blogja” from Hungary 🇭🇺 
I saw some sun flowers on her blog and it reminded me  of last year sun flower field.
I had to choose the right moment to take the picture because they are following the sun 🌞 as you know and I did not want to take a picture of them not facing me 😂 
What a beautiful yellow! The clout of Summer!
But I wish we had less sun this year and less heat
But there is nothing we can do?







I also love Daisies!

These are sunflowers on a painting in an exhibition  I went to at  Giverny museum . Gustave Caillebotte if I remember correctly this painting is in the Orsay Museum in Paris if you want to see it.

 I wish you a nice day!

The uprooting of flax!

Tonight we were having our dinner, when we heard a very load noise! It was the uprooting of flax. As it is too warm during the day they are allowed to work in the evening or night.

My husband had cleaned his black car! And did not have time to put it in the garage… it is making so much dust! That the cars doors and windows will have to be cleaned 🧽 the joys of countryside 😂

Hello Friends!

I can write on my blog for the moment blogger is OK!

The picture today resumes the situation in Europe with the heat wave the first one, but we are having a second one. I don’t know what is going  to happen this week?

A burning 🥵 Summer!


Hello Friends!
I still have some problems with blogger! But this morning I was able to write!
The pictures below are from the small village I go to have my pedicure done. As I was early, I sat on the bench near the pound in the shade.
This weekend we went out on Saturday morning to do some shopping and stayed home on Sunday as the temperature was continuously rising!
Today the second or third heat wave is starting… again and again! It is very tiring and critical for the plants and animals.
This week it will rising up to 35 C again and  no rain.
Tomorrow morning early I have an appointment for a morning relaxation only to look after myself!
Massage… after all the health problems I went through these days I need a break.
We still are thinking about our September holidays?? We want to go up north! Iceland 🇮🇸 Norway 🇳🇴 Sweden 🇸🇪??? We have to decide!
We did not have taken our June break because of our dog big health problems and couldn’t leave him at the kennel. But in September it will be ok.

On Saturday Mr L bought me some perfume for the Summer! I like Escada yearly perfume it’s a very nice fragrance of different fruits for Summer.
I don’t have much pictures from outside as it begins to be all burnt by the heat.
Unfortunately I go out only in the mornings it is even too hot to do barbecues.
On Saturday we also had time to get clothes for our grandchildren the sales have began here, so they won’t have too much luggage when travelling.
I wish you a good week and I hope blogger will still work!

Jardin Agapanthes


Hello friends!

today I have problems to use blogger! Don’t know if you also have problems?

As I don’t go out much ( in fact I write from the doctors waiting room of the clinic in Rouen)


We usually go and visit this garden each year “ le jardin des Agapanthes” this is a beautiful garden in the countryside with Hydrangeas, Agapanthes and beautiful landscaping.


A mix of trees, flowers and water.

A short message.

Dear Friends

I am not on my blog for the moment due to a second health problem. I had to go to the clinic and I feel exhausted for the moment.

As you may know we had a terrible heat wave. At the moment we are having a few days fresh air and in two days we are back to heat!

Our downstairs AC is finally installed just on time before the new heat wave. I am not doing much at the moment but rest. 

As you can see on the picture the trees are suffering a lot and loose their leaves. The birds are asking for water a lot and stay hidden under the leaves or in the hedges when it’s too hot and are very quiet.

I hope to be back as soon as possible. I am resting a lot before our son’s family arrive from Dubaï pretty soon now, with two toddlers we will be very busy!

See you soon my friends, enjoy and take care!

À big, long heat wave!


 Hello Friends,

Here in France we are having a heat dome. Thunderstorms and hail. The temperature is rising and more than 40 degrees in some places. Schools are closed and some trains cancelled.😞 it is very a very serious moment.

Hope everything goes well. Damages have already occurred around us so I will be back in a few days . We will eat ice creams to get a little freshness!

It will be a long period of heat!

See you soon.
