A morning out.

Hello Friends 

This morning I had an appointment to do my passport and identity card. Mum was not there and Bandit( my dog) was very anxious and sad to be alone. So after my quick lunch I had to sit with my Jack Russell on my lap trying to knit 🧶!

I have left home earlier and went to the country town to get fish, vegetables and fruits before going to the town hall. I was on my way when a car broke down and blocked the street and waited until the tow truck arrived! I had to phone the town hall to let them know I might be late. After 20 minutes I could go and had to hurry but was on time I should get my passport and identity card soon. Then I found some petrol and was ok with a police speeding control!

Watching the news and relax ☺️ 

Not easy to knit with Bandit on my lap but he even sleeps in my back under the bed cover since his friend Basile died. He has a strong attachment to me a bit too much. 😂 

I went walking and met some friends.the weather is colder and grey  a real Autumnal weather 🌦️!
 

Some things new.

Hello Friends 

Yesterday look what I found! This beautiful cup

I love it!

And especially for Mari!

Look what I found a barn puzzle! In a beautiful barn box

Today we ate a pie I have baked with  diced bacon  béchamel sauce cheese and Swiss  chard.(not sure of the translation?)

I often bake this kind of dish when there are some in the shops in Autumn.🍂 

Have you a special dish you like in Autumn?

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 🥰 

 

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 🪵 

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 🌞!
