All Saints Day.

Hello friends.
All Saints’ Day is tomorrow and our deceased day is on Monday 2 nd of November, but we went to church as the today’s monks and religious sisters church service for our deceased was this afternoon.
You can hear the bells calling for mass we all gather in church. ( Catholics)
This is what the monks are making and painting 

These are on sale
Jam made by the sisters
Their shop
This was a church destroyed during the revolution 

The little shop we like to go. Mr L bought me a scarf and a brooch and I bought her home made apple and cinnamon jam



It was a beautiful Autumn day and we prayed for our ancestors tomorrow we will pray “All Saints Day”  
Have a good evening or day đŸ„°

A visit to…

Hello Friends 

Today, will be a visit of Dubai.
We are soon going to visit our grandchildren and we will there I hope soon during winter so it’s cooler. If we can regarding to the situation there it would  be end of January or February for my husband’s retirement and also Maxime asked his grandfather to visit him.
It’s now more than 10 years I am going to Dubai 
Before I used to walk about 10kms a day went everywhere by metro but now it’s more difficult but I still walk 5 kms with help.

I hope everything goes well and there will be able to visit our grandchildren! We must be optimistic!!!

Hello friends!
Today it is sunny but not very warm. We went to get wood from the garage with our trolley and I lit a fire for the day.
On Saturday I brought two books one on the secret language of seasons in Japan
And one on Pumpkins 🎃 and Autumn a cosy book for the season.
 
I have wood under the fireplace but also ready on the trolley. I must watch the fire along the day and put some news logs đŸȘ” 

This is our Maple tree in the sun. I take pictures because it doesn’t last long!

This is a garment I like short sleeves but very cosy for Autumn. Mr L bought it for me in the Netherlands.

Each year I am knitting scarves from different colours to match my coats and when I don’t need them anymore in summer I give them to charity shops. I am knitting my third one.

Soon for Xmas we will spend our Christmas in Bruges in Belgium ! I have already books the hotel and kennel for Bandit.
Four days in Belgium and  visits to the Netherlands.









These pictures are from our first Xmas there!
Today I’ll visit blogs .
It will soon be the weekend and we will have sun 🌞!

An ordinary Fall day.

Hello Friends 

Today it will be a day out !
First I will go to the hairdresser and then do some errands. Fall is a nice season for me in fact the best! Last Saturday I bought some new books to read and wool  to knit (by the fire of course!)
It’s time to cook all sorts of pumpkins and I have one small one for us two to cook and tomato soup.

Look at our Maple! Such a beautiful colour! 



 
I have ordered a wood trolley on Amazon and Mr L has built it before going to work this morning so it’ll be easy for us to get the wood from the garage.

Now we are feeding 10 pigeons and my Robin comes to visit me each day.

I hope you enjoy your day! đŸ„°
