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! 🥰

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!
🥰
