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! 🥰 

 

End of our first adventure!

Hello friends!

Today was our last day here.

We have been visiting a lot, some places we already knew and others we discovered.

We ended up the day at the cake factory:” La maison du biscuit “!🍪 

Here you find all sorts of very good biscuits, but here spices…

Here everything to make all sorts of cakes and biscuits 

All custards

Again to make cakes

Chocolate chips for cookies 

My husband wanted to see this castle but I was not very found of it… the park was not very nice

There are ruins lookalike it was a church

These are all the cookies boxes 

The inside is vintage

Honeys on the piano

A view from a cove

I told you we were going to the restaurant 

This was my fish plate

That was my husband’s 

We also looked for another castle which was a bit hidden. We have parked the car at the beginning of the alley and walked when suddenly from the castle farm on the left a German shepherd rushed towards us barking he rushed to me and I just told him quickly that he was a nice and go home!

At first we stopped and did not move and then he just stopped barking and went away. So we continued our way to the castle. He was just protecting the entry of the farm!

 Then we discovered this beautiful building!

It was another nice day and tomorrow we will be on the road home!

But I will just have time to do the laundry and pack again for the Netherlands but this time we won’t move but walk and rest!

Tourp manor or torp in Viking language was farm or Little village.

Hello friends!

Today was a quieter day. We already visited a lot and it was not the first time for us here, we came many times before.

Today we went to the Tours manor.

It was at first a farm when Vikings settled 

And along the years become this farm manor.

We are going to there tomorrow to have lunch and I will try to take a complete picture.

All the buildings are stuck together in a rectangular place closed by a big porch.

It has it’s chapel and pigeon house.

The restaurant is at the far right end

Normand cows. There were a lot of sheep 🐑 before but now they breed more cows.

There was a very interesting exhibition about the peninsula wild life. Mr Pascal was interested.

Just before we left we heard an helicopter above the hotel and a road was blocked by the police the urgency was there.

Something very bad occurred on a boat. There is an hospital at about 35 kms but in case of emergency or car crash you’re transported by helicopter 🚁 to Caen hospital on another district. It’s rather far away of big hospitals.

The roads are  quite good but they are often very sinuous and narrow so better be careful! I am telling my husband I am not interested by an helicopter ride!

Tomorrow will be calm because we are leaving on Sunday. Back home and prepare our trip to the Netherlands!

🥰 see you tomorrow!
