Autumn in the country.

Hello Friends!
Today, I woke up with the sound of the ploughing machine next to our bedroom. Autumn 🍂 ploughing as usual.
Some pigeons, magpies and seagulls are following the machine to get some fresh food.
We have seagulls here as we are not too far from the sea 70kms.
Today i remembered I had an old typewriter somewhere in my closets and took it out and will use it in my decoration.


II found some of my favourite “ eau de Cologne” in the Netherlands! Germany is not very far. We met a German couple from Bonn and they had only 4 hours drive to home the same as we had to go back home in Normandy.
I had friends in Germany and stayed there one month when I was 15 and was learning German.
I first bought this eau de Cologne during a visit to Cologne of course! And I like to put some when I go to bed very relaxing. It was created by Wilhelm Mullens who was living 4711 bells street it is named after his address in 1792 this is why the number on the bottle. I am really fan of this eau de Cologne!

A real Autumn weather! Rainy and 12 degrees C.
Time for watercolour! But dusting first not fun! 😂 
Thank you for your comments and visit.

  1. I also have and use eau de Cologne 4711 and like it. It is in my bathroom.
    It is 10C here and raining. I can hear the raindrops after the very hot weather in late September.

  2. De oude typemachine(Olympia Filia omstreeks 1935) is niet alleen een blikvanger maar ook een verzamel object.
    Goede herinneringen aan Turkse Bogazici Kolonya wat als teken van welkom over onze handen gesprenkeld werd tijdens rondreis door geheel Turkije(1986) in elk dorp en stad,het ruikt lekker en heeft tevens hoge antibacteriële eigenschappen.
    Huidkanker;plaveiselcelcarcinoom met sprietjes) aan neus operatie van manlief is gister goed verlopen,geen pijn,afwachten of snijranden schoon zijn.Hartelijk dank 🙏 voor je empathische reactie.
    Lieve groet,Ger

  3. I love your old typewriter. I have one too and have it displayed in our guest room. Your Fall views are so pretty!
    I love that you found your cologne, great memories from your youth.

  4. I did not know that the Cologne was named after his address. So interesting. It's very quiet here in autumn. Everything seems hushed. Oh, wait, yesterday our neighbour had his trees trimmed. That made a lot of noise!

  5. We had another warm sunny day. We collected all of my glass flowers, I washed them, and tomorrow they will get stored in the attic above the garage. Tom harvested tulip bulbs from the cans they were planted in. They will go to the cabin garden. New ones are on order.
    I had a final physical therapy session today. I am a hopeless case. and will just keep on moving as much as I can. I got my COVID shot.
    It's all autumn stuff to get checked off the list.
