Our little trip to Rouen

Yesterday was my visit to the ophthalmologist in Rouen. Everything is ok no glaucoma ! Now we’ll see the MRI to see what’s wrong… I have walked 4 kms to take some pictures for you. In Rouen it is said to be «  the town of 100 steeples » so there are many churches.

The painting museum

Our cathedral with the Christmas market

Side of the Cathedral 

Normandy old house ( Middle Ages)

Very old one I love it

Side of cathedral 

Another church

That’s a strange one 😂 

In the center all the streets are paved 

A restaurant 

The antique shops streets

Toffee apples and all goodies ! Crepes , waffles 🧇…

 Children merry-go - round!

It was not cold we had a hot chocolate outside and then were in the traffic jams! And then had a rest at home.

This and that…

This will be the new DIY of the new year!

I already did some a long, long time ago…metal to repel. I have already got the book!

Hello Friends !

This is what I did yesterday morning. I haven’t taken a picture before but the painting had no perspective and all was flat.  My husband thought number painting was very easy, he bought new brushes but the numbers were so tiny he thinks he mixed up with the colours. He was really desperate so I have spent Monday morning working on it 

I don’t really like the colours but it is not my choice. I think he will be glad tonight, there is now a perspective.

I have some more work to do on it before tonight.

 The little lamp on the left is a present from a patient.

We are also receiving a lot of chocolates ! Too much!

It’s decided my husband will leave his work at the end of 2026 he will be retired!  

At the same time I am doing( the machine is doing the washing) the weather is fine, sun and 9 degrees.

Tomorrow Tuesday we are going to the ophthalmologist to see what’s wrong with my eyes. Fingers crossed 🤞 it’s ok…hope we can get through farmers demonstrations today.

I will try to take some pictures of Rouen and its Christmas market!

See you soon. Thank you for your visit.

A new year and a new travel to come .

On Sunday, we stayed home.My husband did some morning shopping and I have organised or try to organise my wardrobe as I had  new pieces on Saturday.

In the afternoon we did some painting watercolour for me and number painting for my husband he is not satisfied with his work so I’ll have to look at it tomorrow to see what’s wrong.

 I had a phone call from my son in law who asked me if I had something to do for him in the house… of course I have! 

Then I had a Skype with our grandchildren and son.

In fact we decided I was going to visit them in Dubai for three weeks. We will see the results of my medical explorations but anyhow I will go to see my son and grandsons they are not coming for Christmas and I miss them a lot. Time flies and I think it’s time to go before I get too old 😂 ! ( soon in April I will change decade)

Where our son lives is in a village in the center of a big town. This is where I go when I have a walk but I can tell you better walk in the shade ! And this is where William’s nursery is.

This is where I continue to go to Burj Kahlifa and the big Mall when I want to walk but have air conditioning !

Burj Khalifa tower. I went on top twice and the elevator goes very fast indeed 

The lake where I watch the Dubaï fountains show      At night with music

There are some during the day too

Around the flat the village is car less nice to walk with nice Bougainvilleas 

This is in the Dubai Mall close to the flat

This was the view from the flat they have moved now but still in the same building I don’t know what will be the new view.

Still from the flat

The big door downstairs is a little Mall with Spinney supermarket 

The fountain show at night.

The opera close to the flat

I hope you enjoyed the visit!

I should be there by January hope everything goes well until then!

Thank you for your visit.

Santa Lucia in Normandy.

It begins by the end! I have some problems with blogger after an Apple update I hope all goes well?

There was a Swedish 🇸🇪 tale and the story of Santa Lucia

Then some Christmas Carols by Swedish Teen agers.

At the end we did a procession with our little lights 

Went to the parish Hall to share Swedish hot wine and a little saffron bread.

I went to the little shop in the first picture to buy  her delicious Apple jelly ( with vanilla and cinnamon)

This house is beautiful but empty and soon will be a ruin!

It is such a beautiful house…

 We left home in the morning to get some items we ordered had a coffee ☕️ and met some people we know to wish them happy hoy days.

We rushed home, had a quick lunch and left for the Abbey.

When we arrived it was already crowded and finally found a place to park. I had made a reservation two days before fortunately! Lots of people were there from the surrounding but a lot from Paris and parents from Sweden.

It was a good Advent  gathering ( I was not too bad !) we enjoyed ourselves  and in those difficult days everywhere it was nice to be there all together and listen to these beautiful Carols!
