When going to the vet and ended to the same!

(From this book)

Hello Friends !

What do we do during our weekend ???

Well, we started yesterday morning by driving to get some food for our dog from the vet 12 kms away… then we went to have lunch and do a little shopping for my husband. We ate the most terrible lunch we ever had! Horrible !

Then we suddenly decided we didn’t want to go home! 80 kms later we were by the sea!

No more tourists as the school begins on Monday they were all in the supermarkets.

It did not rain and the temperature was nice, it was another nice day in our lives!

I found a new woollen scarf ( very warm and thin woven one)

I am now working on on a Christmas shop window from Paris.

These are the cliffs which are falling down unfortunately 

With the climate change.

The river is the smallest river of France and it is joining the sea

There are four       Stages      Of beach cabins along the shore.

The wooden pier.

A nice tea room.

Now on Sunday we are resting, reading and watching tv.

Today Maxime will be free of his arm cast!

By the way on the 11th of September we are going to have a big general strike in the country. No train, no planes, roads blocked, hospitals, schools… better anticipating !

A good rainy day!

( my watercolour is from this book. Where you find some of the nice shops in Paris. Laduree is a famous bakery which specialities are «  Les Macarons »)

 Today, for a long time it is a rainy day, good for Nature!

The temperature in the morning begins to go down 12 C

But i don’t complain as i like Autumn best!

What did i do today?

As I did all the housework yesterday, today I relax!

This morning I did some watercolour which is very relaxing then I had a quick lunch and a coffee with a rose and a lemon loukoum. I love rose loukoum it is so tasty.

One of my husband’s patients went on holiday to Greece and brought us olive oil, olives, almond.biscuits and loukoums! So generous!

This is my interpretation.

It is not quite finished and I changed the colours I thought pastel colours would be nice with the shop .

I’ll finish my watercolour and look after the laundry 🧺 

All is dry and I have to put it away in the different rooms.

I hope you’re having a nice day. Thank you for your visit.

This afternoon I’ll visit blogs.

Daily life.

Hello friends !

Today, is not a good day… the boiler has a problem and is out of order. It’s only a four year old boiler and I did the yearly clean and control in June! They are coming this afternoon.

The weather is cooler, but as we hardly had winter there is a wasps invasion ! It is difficult to to open a door or a window. The whole garden is very dry because of no rain but fortunately the rain is arriving tomorrow tomorrow for at least the rest of the week.

This week was Maxime’s first day of school alter nursery.

He goes to aBritish  school so he has to wear a uniform ! 

He is happy to go to school!

These are the news.

I am reading and sorting out the rooms, yesterday I gave vintage items to have less dusting to do!

Let me show you my new bike 😂 as I still have a problem with my right foot I don’t have the choice if I want to walk outside! I chose it with a seat  so I can rest when it becomes painful. I’ll take it on holiday because I like to walk.

No choice!but I’ll be okay !

Thank you for visiting!

A relaxed weekend by the sea

Hello Friends!

Children and grandchildren are all gone after three weeks and this weekend we decided to have a break at the sea in Dieppe. I went there the week before with the family and we had lunch at a restaurant but my husband was not there, so during our stay we had a lunch there.

This is a view a little further on the coast after Dieppe.

We also relaxed on the beach where you can borrow a book and read by the sea.

This is the Canadian second WWar monument 

The Scottish monument 

And US one. They are all along the promenade to “remember”

Then we had one of our lunch outside, “Good food”

And nice people there!

 I had my favourite sweet! Milk chocolate shell, white chocolate big pearl with vanilla cream inside…SO  Good!

We are now declutterring the house , giving to the thrift store and to a vintage shop who just came this morning to get some items for her shop

Before we prepare our soon coming holidays by the sea in the Netherlands! 🇳🇱 

Thank you for coming!

Our outing

( last year picture Xmas

It is very hot in France  at the moment only in Normandy and Brittany where it hot 30C but cool at night. In other regions the nights are very hot

Yesterday we went to the sea side to get cooler temperatures only 22C. We also went to the restaurant 

And this is the fabulous  sweet we got! Chocolate, vanilla cream, white chocolate and crumble! So 😋 

 My daughter and I have been waiting at the children’s playground and I had time to take a picture of Dieppe’s castle. 

See you soon going to prepare grand children’s meal…

Eventful vacations!

 Just a quick hello!

We had some trouble here! William swallowed a wasps and Maxime broke his right wrist! The holidays are very animated! Urgencies and more urgencies!

The holidays are over soon, on Saturday and Maxime goes to school with his broken wrist for the first time… hope it goes well!

We will take a break and go away abroad in September 

Grandma needs a rest by the sea.

See you soon.
