This and that.

New watercolour exercise book.

 Hello Friends !

It is cooler  here 13 degrees C, rain and wind but Maxime uses an umbrella against the sun and heat! He saw one of the guards at his school entrance with an umbrella to protect himself from the sun and asked dad to get one for himself! But he des appears under this big umbrella. He is going to school with it!

The weather actually is very hot and damp with fog. They really need rain to cool down the temperature.

Tomorrow Mr L is home and we will go out to the supermarket and go for a walk if the rain is not too heavy. 

The five pigeons are having their breakfast in the garden, Bandit if feeling a little better today he went for a little walk with his dad.

This morning I put the AC on warm ( it can do cold and warm) to warm up the house this morning. This winter we will use wood in the stove and AC instead of our oil heater oil being very expensive at the moment. With the stove in the fireplace it was about 22/23downstairs and now I am testing the AC downstairs we will see…

Mr L buys a lot of food for birds and pigeons so we have a lot round there! 

I wish you a nice weekend!

Autumn has arrived!

Hello Friends!

This afternoon I lit the fire of our fireplace. Bandit is cold and not feeling well. He had a surgery for a cancer in May, I hope all goes well and that he will be better he just comes back from the kennel I hope it was not too much for him. He was in the dog hotel he had a room with heating if cold his own bed and had walks during the day.

Our miserable garden under the rain.

 Now Bandit and I are sitting by the fire 🔥 it’s warm and nice!

Some new finds during our getaway.

Bandit is really not well today

I will soon use the fireplace 

This time i bought some Italian liquid soap instead of solid ones. ( this picture should be at the end but  blogger decided differently!)

Hello Friends,

Today, Bandit our dog is not feeling well well.

I took him for a little walk and he was not well.

I did not use the buggy yet outside I had a try inside for him to get used to it.

This week mom is in India for her work and dad is  looking after the boys. Hard work !

II found some new shoes for Autumn 🍂 

 A gift from Mr L. This year I like brown and burgundy. I also found a burgundy cardigan at C&A. When we go there every three months we  do our shopping at the same time from the outlets.

Today we’re having some rain!🌧️ good for the garden and fresh air! I will soon lit the fire place!

At the same time I am watching the news which are very bad here!

I think I will do some watercolour this afternoon and in between continue the laundry! 🧺 

Back home.

Hello Friends 

We are back. We had a nice break before going back home where there are lots of troubles in France unfortunately we would rather have a peaceful time when coming home!but…

This morning I went to get Bandit from the kennel

And he was quite happy to be home.

Before the end of our trip we ate a good schnitzel with fries.

We also did a little walk by the canal 

 

The pigeons were happy to get some more food.

Our next trip will be in November back to the Netherlands again!

Now I must do the laundry and put the suitcases away for the moment!

Have a nice day!

“ Live your day like never before!”

The North Sea is a very busy sea!

Supper at the Italian restaurant!

One of the outlet shop

Our breakfast room

A big buffet with local food, cheese 🧀…

Hello Friends!

First Thank you for your visits. I am not much on blogland these days but all will be back to usual time when I come home.

This morning  we decided to leave the hotel early to be ready for the shops opening time. We have spent the morning shopping ( there are many outlets as it’s close to the border) sometimes we are in Belgium and sometimes in the Netherlands.

As our dog is getting old and his mum too! It is difficult to take him out as I did before 5 kms every morning. My walking being more and more difficult except with the rollator on long distance I decided to buy a buggy for our dog and it will be ok for me to walk and take him out!

Then after our” big” shopping!  We went to see the little village nearby.

Then we stopped to have a drink and our lunch

This is the buggy for Bandit

All the soaps from Italy. I bought some each time I come.

The sentence of the day which was written in our breakfast room was:

 “Live your day…like never before”! ❤️ 

By the sea!

Hello Friends!

We arrived in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 

It is warm and it’s 7 pm and having supper by the beach!

The credit card I have doesn’t work in this restaurant I forgot and Mr Pascal is going to get cash and walk 3 kms! So I am staying here waiting… or do the washing up to pay!!! 😂 

We already did some shopping in the town and we went to the hotel to get our room.

Lots of lorries on the motorway because it’s the European one.

It’s quite busy and we have to drive carefully.

We are going to do a little walk after Mr P is back!

See you tomorrow! 🥰
