Difficult times.

( picture taken from this book)

Happy May!

 Hello friends,

Today, little Maxime is not going to school. Because of the war he is schooling at home. I hope our grandchildren will not have too much stress. Not for the moment but the alerts being very loud they must ask questions. No school until the 8th for the moment…

No more planes for the moment.

Yesterday there has been five alerts and it is a worry for us. We are following the situation from far away. 

Today, it will be raining and I am glad they came yesterday to repair the garage roof which was damaged by hail.

Last night I found the phone number of an arborist to see if I can save my tree.🌳 I ‘ll phone her today. ( thank you Linda for the advice).

I hope everything will settle  one day 

To have a peace of mind back for everyone.

Our grandchildren should come in August???

Hope you’ll enjoy your day!

Monday news.

Hello friends,

Yesterday we should have been to Giverny’s painting museum, but as the weather was very bad it would have been difficult to walk two kms from the car park under a heavy rain. So as we have another three days weekend at the end of the week we decided to go somewhere else.

It’s the time of Medieval shows ( I am not a great fan) but it was on our way and I thought it would interest my husband.

During this weekend I told you I had got some silk flowers from the little decoration shop.

Here it is. So I don’t cut my garden flowers.

Since two years I have a big problem with our  linden tree. The picture is our tree now in Spring and Summer.

This picture  was our tree before. Is it climate change, too much heat, or is it ill? It is very critical. Some of the leaves at the bottom are of a normal size and they are of a very small size on top??? If you have any ideas…

A little outing.

These are some of the flowers i bought.

Hello Friends,

We have a three days weekend and as our dog health is improving we d coded to go out not too far and not too long. The flowers I got for my birthday faded i decided to get some silk flowers for a big vase. I knew that this little shop had got some so we decided to to go!

This is the inside of the little shop with beautiful Tiffani lamps, cushions, cups … and very good jam the owner makes. Home made Good jam!

This winter I bought some cushions.

These are some of the silk flowers 

The small entry of the shop.

The shop is in a little village close to an Abbey I already did a post about it.

I love beautiful trees and there are many.

Chestnut trees blooming 

Their flowers are so beautiful 

A glimpse of of the Abbey tower.

Some other trees

This tree was planted before 1789 ( French Revolution)

Beautiful Normand houses

 And the shop I like to go. ( l’Atelier de Tess and she also has a guest house with view over the Abbey) it is in “ Le Bec-Helloin” Normandy. A very nice countryside place.

We also went to the Abbey church to pray for the world. This is what we did today! And our dog was fine when we got home! And we had a thunderstorm when we got home.

Hope you had a nice day.

Hello Friends!

Some news from our Bandit! He is doing well, but we don’t sleep very well and we begin to be tired 😴 

Tomorrow it’s Labour Day and a bank holiday so we will have a long weekend to rest.

As you can see Bandit is resting he has special food and goes out in the garden a little.

 Look at William! He is now two and can get out of his bed by himself and… he gets up at 4 AM and I think he must play a little then fall  asleep on the carpet until 6! I would like to be able to sleep 💤 like him 😂 

Today, we are having a nice sunny day but for the long weekend rain and thunderstorm.⛈️ 

I hope you will have a nice weather for the weekend!

Take care!

A pause to nurse our Bandit.

Dear Friends,

I will take a beak from my blog  for a week being busy nursing our old dog. The surgery was ok but it was heavy one so I’ll be busy these days. Hope he will improve!

Result of the analysis in two or three weeks… we will see???

I wish you a nice week.

My first purple roses

A busy weekend !

Hello Friends!

To wish you a good weekend!

I will be busy with my dog Bandit’s surgery all weekend. Bandit is in his 13 and I hope he will be ok we did a blood test and the vet said he can do the surgery.

Our grandchildren arrived safely in Dubaï they will be going back to school and nursery next week. ( if all goes well) in fact they are back to school today only to have one school day before the weekend to get used to be back again.

This year my yellow peonies are in full bloom, last year it had only one flower ( it’s a new one) and I am very pleased to look at it every morning when I wake up! This makes my day!

Have a nice weekend my friends.
