Cooking in the kitchen!













Hello friends ,

Tomorrow  is the day I am going to have our new fridge delivered. On Saturday we decided which one we wanted.
I did not go grocery shopping today as I must wait some hours before using it.
Some vintage castle kitchens!  No fridge at this time, no dishwasher…hard time for the servants and cooks.
(I have problems with my mail box which is blocked and problems on internet… so a computer scientist, not sure of the word? Is coming on 

Wednesday. I hope everything will be fixed)

New in the kitchen!



Today, I went grocery shopping and I also stopped at Action to add some colours to my dried hydrangeas bouquet and I found what I needed ( some red apples, berries)


Some time ago I bought a crockpot and today I decided to get an air fryer for two people. I am trying with chicken 🍗 impatient to see the result. I also got a cake mold to go in it.

 Now it is time to do red fruits jam!

It is a real Autumn weather outside grey and rain , getting colder… so better stay inside!

( two of my medical appointments have been cancelled 😞 don’t know why and at the last minute!)


Perfect after hardly 20 mns.

Dried Bouquet.

Some time ago I dried some flowers from the garden and today I have put them in a big vase for a Fall decoration.
On Saturday I went shopping, but did not find much interesting pieces, only three tops two thin sweaters and one top. When we went in the Netherlands I found a dress and an oversized winter coat.



The scarf was a gift from the shop




 It will be a busy week with medical appointments, so I wish you a lovely week!

Heritage day.

Chateau du Champ de Bataille.




Today, is heritage day in France and we decided to visit the near by castle pieces we can’t usually visit, Cybele ‘s cave and the Indian garden ( we could not visit the entire private pavillon)
This cave is built with lava stones 




The gardens are beautiful and quite big and such a nice place to visit. It is the only day in the year you can visit it . So glad we did!

Autumn is round the corner!

This weekend Autumn will start! So I decided to bake little fruit tarts with grapes and apricot jam.I made my own crust ( it’s been a long time since I made one!) but more tasty.

The last roses of the season

A little raspberry left

And Asters… sign of Fall!

This weekend is patrimony days, we will try to visit some places around home, but Saturday morning we will go to my favourite clothe shop to spend a big voucher on winter clothes, before the voucher ends!

I did a big clearing in my wardrobe and need new pieces for the Autumn and winter.

I wish you a nice and peaceful weekend !
