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.

Sleeping Beauty…

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.






 

A relaxed and sunny day!

Hello friends!
Today, it’s cold but the sun shines 🌞! It lifts my mind ( not sure of the words)  and while I renewed  my passport in the little bourg ( country town) I decided to spend the day out!
I was sitting by the door but I changed it was too cold!
The restaurant’s name is “two zebras”. I was the first one, but many people arrived. ( they are well known)

 You can see at the back two zebras heads. It’s because the owners are twins .

I had chicken rice and salad.
Then I did a little walk. Old Normand buildings
The strange church! The steeple being on one side!
Shops are closed for lunch but leave flowers outside 
This is where I buy my coffee

These narrow streets are nice but very windy 🌬️ 
Then I went to the supermarket to get some fresh fruits and vegetables.
Last night in the basket for 4 euros I got:  fresh lasagna for four people, 450 gr beef, some butter, olives, a salad.
I will use the butter to bake this afternoon and put the baking in the freezer.
Well now I have better bake and use the butter!
( hope our grandchildren will have a safe travel back!)

A little outing.
