This and that…

We went to another garden center to get two of these to put on each side of the front door.

Hello friends!

Yesterday we had a snack at the Turkish restaurant we are used to eat each Saturday, it’s good, simple and quick!

We bought our weekly coffee for the week. I like strong Italian coffee.

This is a touch of their country lemons and  blue eye glass for protection( in Mediterranean countries)
Our daughter has sent a link to us of a garden we can visit in May close to where we live. We also went to a shoe outlet which was open on our way and I got some new sandals for the summer to match with a new summer dress .














 This week will be a very busy one! So I wish you a nice week!

New peonies, roses and weekend!

Hello Friends 

Let me show you my new Mother’s Day peonies! ( two others are smaller and must be potted  this weekend.


Roses are starting to to bloom despite the freezing temperatures. But next week it should be hot 🥵 

The sparrows are nesting bringing dry grass to their nest in fact they are living here all year having food and water.

Some babies have already left the nest. We have got four nests! A lot of noise!



 I had news from my son, the schools are not re opening for the moment, but the kids Birthday parties are now taking place and friends gatherings too! They ‘ll be busy on Sunday!

I will be busy this weekend so I wish you now a good weekend!

Plants and flowers.

My daughter’s plants nursery.
Today is a religious Bank holiday.
Yesterday I went to a garden centre where my daughter bought me 4 peonies for Mother’s Day at the end of month. We my customers’ card I had some discounts and I bought her some bulbs for her garden, but she is very fond of indoor plants as well.
So today we went to Desjardins, had our lunch there and then went to buy what we needed.
Then I decided to buy the plants she was looking at the day before and we decided to phone her and drive 30 kms bring her the plants.






I bought two black eye Susan 
It was cold and we had big showers and then sun shine 
This is the inside of her garden house 

Father and daughter 

Then we visited her shared garden with her vegetable 
It’s a bit late for sweet peas but I will try.
In between showers we went to “Jumieges Abbey”



It was again a busy day!
Next week the wood stove will be installed in the fireplace and I ordered wood for the winter.
Hope you had a nice day!

Grandma’s day.


Maxime and William enjoying life! The two little brothers 
Were at see world Abu Dhabi and enjoyed to be outside, the school and nursery are closed at the moment for the second time.
Yesterday they were jumping on the couch and I said be careful and William told me: “ don’t worry grandma” 😂 



Hello Friends,

Now the long weekend is over and this morning I did a lot of cleaning while the laundry is  in the machine. Washing and drying.

Yesterday we stayed home and did some tidying. I had a chat with our two little boys, they have been to Abu Dhabi with their parents and some friends trying to live normally for the children. They enjoyed themselves at see world, slept at Batman’s hotel and brought some souvenirs from their stay. They were very happy and now William is also taking part in the conversation!

As you can see I am resting and having a cocoa in my Mrs Emma Bridgewater mug! With the promise we did on our wedding! ( not to forget 😂) and there is one for Mr too!




Bandit has made him a sort of nest. We saw the vet on Saturday and we will certainly have the result of the biopsy end of week.
On Saturday afternoon I went to get more flowers for my vase. Now  I have to arrange the flowers in the vase.

I wish you all the best for this week!
