Preparing…

This morning I am preparing our children and grandchildren arrival, as we don’t know yet the date of their arrival. June or July?

I bought a lot of second hand clothes so they don’t have to carry a lot during their flight.

I washed all the clothes this morning to be ready!

Yesterday I decided to decorate this bird cage I had for long with fake roses. The bird cage is in the first floor bathroom .

Little boys clothes and a lot of dungarees easy to wear

And dungarees shorts.

Then I ‘ll bake an apple and rhubarb crumble and this afternoon get the vegetables and fruits from the farm.

A nice weekend to you, thank you for coming.
 

My collection.

The peonies is slowly opening, it is long because we don’t have enough sun 🌞 !

Today, let me show you some of my « Biscuit » collection . Biscuit is a porcelain  cooked twice. I think these ones are from the early 20th Century if I look at their clothes. I got them from street markets and got a lot which are a bit damaged, but they are precious.

Most of the ones I got are representing children with animals and flowers In soft colours, also angels.

These are four of my collection. I love all the details!

 Yesterday was a busy day doing some ironing. I was very late and had to iron a lot of my husband’s shirts 👔 as he is still working and has to wear a shirt during the weeks, but it is soon the end of the week ! Tomorrow I will get the fruits and vegetables 🥦 from the farm and do the cooking and baking for the weekend.

Thank you for coming.

Garden and countryside.

Today, I had to go back to the shop we bought our table and chairs. The delivery man yesterday said I had to go back to the shop, something was missing on the chairs… but in fact I drove 24 kms for nothing ! Nothing was missing!

Well, I looked at the paints to know which colour I’ll choose when I am going to paint the front gate. I took a paint. Sample with me.

Then I decided to go in the valley before going back home and take pictures. This very old Normand house was a restaurant it is beautiful outside and inside, surrounded by a park.

Beautiful with the wisteria !

This is the little river «  Oison »

The smallest town hall of France.

Last week I found these small solar lamps

One of our Rhododendron is blooming, I love the colour !

The small Azalea became very big

The wisteria 

The lilacs

 And our neighbours !

We have frost during the nights, but sun during the day!

A good day!

A very busy Sunday!

Yesterday was a busy working day! 

We got up early and I baked a pear and caramel cake and baked stuffed sweet potatoes for lunch, my daughter just informed me Saturday evening.

Our daughter and her husband came for lunch and after lunch they decided to tidy and clean our garages.

We wanted to tidy and donate or put to the rubbish some old broken tools…

They did a very good job!

And then clean all the house gutters, a good job done!

Last year I have planted a new yellow Peonie and I am impatient to see the flower.

 This morning I am waiting for the new outside table and chairs delivery then do some housework and laundry.

I wish you a nice week.

Thank you for coming.

Château and Château fort.

I have fixed the problem and I am back !Today, we first went to the vet to get some food for Bandit.

Then we went to a garden Center it was open day and discount day!

They have a new corner in the shop where you can eat and do your shopping. They have fruits and vegetables, cheese 🧀 chocolate, biscuits , wine and bear.

The double decker bus is part of the shop!

We had our lunch at the watering can

Then as my husband was very tired of the week we decided to continue and visit an arboretum just a few kilometres from home. In the beautiful park there is a Medieval castle .

At the entrance two big sequoias 

We walked, sat on a bench under the sun and listened to the birds 🦅 and to the babies birds in the nests and relax.

Then we arrived at the castle  through the door.

This was the water pits around the castle 

We can’t go inside for the moment, they are doing some work inside

They have been doing a lot of reconstruction work outside.

Rebuilder some part of it. Before it was a ruin!

Outside theatre.

There soon will be a Medieval festival in June.

We decided to go to another place and I took a picture of this wonderful wisteria 

This week I heard on our local radio that there was a hotel and restaurant we did not know in this fabulous castle ! Mr L will invite me some day in the restaurant for a meal.

 Then, we had a very good outing  and we decided to go home.I hope you enjoyed or outing !

Thank you for your visit.
