Dear Friends!
The storm is over. In fact it was worse on the coast. We had heavy rain and strong winds but not as long as predicted fortunately!
In 1999 just the day after Christmas we had a terrible storm winds over 200 km/h or 124 miles /h and there had been a lot of damages in the country but only our garden shed went up and down! I saw it!
I thought the roof would come off so I woke the family up to go downstairs it was terrifying this is why I am very scared when there is a coming storm bad souvenirs!
Well, only branches on the ground here, our trees have survived fortunately!
Soon it will be Halloween 👻 and I must get sweets for the children. It’s quite an organisation. As our gate is far from our home I put orange ballons on the gate and little sweets bags I prepare protected in a bigger bag from the rain and tied to our gate, they just help themselves ( not too much leaving for others) I put a note and it goes very well. Last year I had a note in my mail box the children asked me not to forget the sweets “ please don’t forget the sweets “🍭 so I’ll be busy 😂!
Tonight is Friday pizza evening, no cooking!
Tomorrow we are going out on some errands and have tea to a new concept store and tea room we discovered last Saturday. It will be a rainy weekend but we are Normand and get use to it 😂 we will take our umbrella ☔️!
Wishing you a good weekend!
Dear Catherine, I am glad that you survived the storm with relatively little damage. I have been waiting for your writing about it.
RépondreSupprimerHalloween is different for them than it is for you. It is not fun and we do not involve the children in this celebration with sweets. However, we go to the cemeteries in silence to the graves of our loved ones with candles and flowers to remember them. It is a very silent holiday in Hugary. This is the tradition for us. I will also go to the graves of my grandparents and parents.
I did not cook today either. We went to a restaurant for lunch. We were at the market before. Have a nice weekend. Éva
So glad you made it through the bad storm!
RépondreSupprimerAnd what a cute idea for the sweeties!
hugs
Donna
I'm so glad the storm is over and not much damage!
RépondreSupprimerI love your sweets idea and it's so cute that you got a note in your mailbox. :)
So happy that all is well and safe. Pizza night sounds fun. Good way to take a cooking break and have a little fun too. Happy Halloween Week and boogie boogie 🎃
RépondreSupprimerI love pizza evening! Have a great weekend!
RépondreSupprimerGlad you survived the storm. So, you put your treats out too - so do we. Our front door is in front of the house and we sit in the way back of the house and it is hard to get to the doorbell.
RépondreSupprimerHave fun eating pizza.
I'm glad the storm left you whole. We are having rain and wind now, and leaves are beginning to fly.
RépondreSupprimerI'm glad the storm is over. We've had lots of rain today and wind coming tomorrow. Here we all have raincoats with hoods to pull up because of the rain.
RépondreSupprimerPizza for Friday night is fun. I bought Halloween treats today - a box of potato chips in individual bags (crisps) and one of small chocolate treats.
You must be very relieved that the storm is over and didn't affect you too much.
