A Shopping morning.

I am ready ! I made my little Christmas cookies bag for my friends !

Hello Friends !

Yesterday was good day and started early by some shopping and posting  Christmas cards then . I went to one of the stores where you find nearly all you need and found little bags to put my home made cookies and some little goodies i bought. Then to the farmer’s shop to get meat, fruit and vegetables ( it’s far from home 12 kms but all is good and fresh direct from farms.

My trolley ( the trolleys are baskets we use in Normandy to collect the apples) going to buy some cheese for my husband «  Neufchâtel » it has an heart ❤️ shape. ( because during the 100 years war between England and and France the girls offered a heart shape cheese to the soldiers ) is it a legend or not???

Then nice madarines from Corsica and some apples from Normandy !

The cheeses from our region. I got the meat for some time and some goodies for Christmas  meals !

 Chicken roasting outside! 

This is how I was dressed yesterday. Khaki pull over khaki trousers and brown oversized jacket  herringbone fabric ( funny name we say chevrons in French but here it refers to a fish 🐟 😂!)

A simple marinière that I found two weeks ago ago, but with decorated sleeves !

With ring and earrings I found in the Netherlands.

So, as you can see I am a « little » busy taking my time. In the afternoon I watched a Christmas movie and made endive soup with coconut milk and nutmeg I like it very much. 

Tomorrow will be busy with Sainte Lucie at the Bec Hellouin Abbey and some shopping. The tree will be decorated on Sunday!

I wish you a good weekend ! Thank you for coming.  

For Christmas meals we have as a cake a Christmas 🪵 

It has the shape of a log and have many perfumes. In the old days chocolate or coffee were popular. This is my mould to make the cake. It was also the custom to burn a log in the fireplace.
