Wild life inspiration and a new outfit.

(This is the jacket I saw last night on her live) not at the right place but blogger decided it would be there!!!

 (And this chocolate velvet trousers and jacket )

Hello Friends 

When I hear the news today in France and in the world , I have better find inspiration in the wild animal life!! So I found these beautiful pictures from face book today.

Look at this beautiful eyes. 👀 

So cute

Mum and her children. Lots of children!

Nature’s wonders

So colourful! So beautiful!

 This is the colour of our squirrels 🐿️ here. In England I remember they were gray.

What kind of squirrels do you have in your country?

I am scared of snakes and bats and last night when we came home the lights of the car disturbed the bat that is living under an outside part of the house and she flew just above our car! I rushed to the house door!

Last year it came in the house.

What kind of animal are you scared of? 

Today, I continue my packing  it is difficult as we will have, rain, wind, warmth and cold  😂! What to choose?  A little of each and  raincoat  and umbrella I expect! And you know you’re aging when your médecine bag grows bigger in your luggage 😂!

Last night I saw this jacket on the shop facebook live and I made a reservation to the lady and I will go and get it this week.

( all pictures are from Facebook)

Hope you enjoy your day!

Thank you for visiting.

An ordinary day.

I am posting while waiting for the hairdresser to open.

This is the little church of the village 

What’s behind this gate? A castle ?

I always wanted to take a picture of this massive old gate, but people went out to have a look at what was going on…

There isa little garden with a free bookstand.

I have better go as it’s opening !

 Hello Friends !

Today, I left home early to get a sweater I had forgotten in the clothes shop  Saturday, then I came back home through the forest and small country lanes.

I had lunch and wait until it was time to go to the hairdresser to have my hair cut. 

In Autumn mood.

 

Cooking braised endives with a little brown sugar and orange juice.

 Roasting butternut for tonight.

That is what’s new in my wardrobe !

I am not used to colours after having worn a boarding school uniform for years ( navy and white)  this will be a great change 😂 !

Navy blue blouse to wear with jeans

I am not sure of this one but my husband insisted we will see if I can wear it! With the chocolate colour trousers maybe…

I prefer this chocolate blouse and trousers I love the embroidery on it.

Today our daughter starts her Mountain trail ( Mont Blanc in the Alps. I can follow them on their Garmin live track.

And our son is busy having business in Monaco 🇲🇨 which is a principality ( for those who don’t know) between Nice and Menton south of France)

That’s all for today. I am slowly packing .

Thank you for visiting !

About our holidays…

 

The North Sea! 

A wonderful place for us to stay!

This is where we are going to stay for our holidays , but I just had a look and we may have rain like here in Normandy. The weather is often similar here and in the south of the Netherlands 🇳🇱 

This is not me with my walker rollator as my foot is not completely well but improving. One of my favourite restaurant with sea view!

This is the inside of the hotel

The long cycling and walking path where we will walk

My husband may hire a bike.

The hotel a few meters  from the sea

I don’t think I ‘ll have fried shrimps this year with my diet 😂 

The room we had last year. This year we will have a different one .

The style of the houses.

We will have to go up north of France, through Belgium and then to The Netherlands. As we are both tired and this time we don’t want to drive all through the country like we use to do but relax once more in the Spa.

Today in both countries it will be 28 C and then gets down again, so strange weather!🌦️ 

Have a good day!

Early morning in the country

 It’s time to wake up! 7 AM and a beautiful Autumn day today! The church bell 🔔 is ringing every day at 7 to tell us it’s time to wake up!

Have a nice weekend!

A sunny day and pizza day!

It’s a nice sunny Autumn day today and this evening it is pizza for supper. My husband every Friday order a pizza and take it on his way home.

This afternoon as it is bank holiday in Dubaï I had my two little boys on Skype! Max is starting school only 3 hours a day during the first month to get used to it. They were dancing and running in the house the weather being too hot.

I did some housework this morning and guess what… watercolour this afternoon after their call!

Tomorrow  we will pay a visit to one of my favourite clothe shop to get some new autumn clothes. The lady from the shop makes live videos each week and I am following her. I saw some interesting clothes this week and I am going to see. ( I am on a diet to get my blood pressure down and at the moment loosing some weight and begin to need new clothes!)

Thank you for your visit and happy weekend!

 

Himeji Castle from Japan and pear cake.

Today pear 🍐 cake.

Hello Friends!

Last night my husband completed his daughter’s Birthday present he received in May. The “ Himeji Castle” from Japan 🇯🇵!

Well, let me told you a little story about the castle.

I went three times to Japan, two on my own and  one with my husband I always wanted to   visit the Himeji Castle, so when we went together we booked a trip to Himeji.

It should have been the following day of our arrival, but as we had to take a taxi to Paris, the plane to Osaka and a Tain to Kyoto it was a long journey and we forgot to put the alarm clock on our phones and we slept and slept…the next day we had forgotten everything… except that we missed our trip and visit to Himeji!

Returning home our children asked us how was the visit?

But we  (did not tell the truth it was so stupid) we told that it has been cancelled.

Now our children know about it, this is why he received a Lego Himeji Castle to build!

I hope we can return and really visit it but for the moment we have it in small! 😂 

Lego is making some nice adult constructions next I think it will “Neuschwanstein castle” before we go and visit it in Germany! 🇩🇪 

Yesterday I finished my Ratatouille at least!

Today, I must use some pears and make a pear cake.

This afternoon do some watercolour. Today it is all gray 19 C and windy some rain is arriving soon.

Thank you for coming, have a good day!
