From flax to linen.

Hello Friends 

This morning I went to have a look at the field next to our garden and I am waiting for the flax flowers to come out!

It will be all blue ( a very special blue) just for a few days.

The flowers will open in the morning in the sun and close every evening.

On the first picture is the kind of thread coming from the stems after they are dried. You don’t cut the flax but it is torn out. Then it becomes rough string on picture one or thread to weave fabric like the fabric on the pictures and very thin fabric to make clothes.

In summer I wear linen which is cool but crumples but for me it doesn’t matter.

The lavender is blooming soon ready to put in small bags and go into the drawers.

I love the simplicity of this flower and it’s beautiful colour.

Just starting to bloom I am impatiently waiting for the full bloom! Normandy is a big agricultural producer 50% of the world production. 

By the wait Maud our daughter finished the Marathon yesterday more than 40 kms! 

Our son is in the plane going to Europe for his job.

As usual I am always worried when he flies especially now. 

Tomorrow they are coming for the AC’s maintenance 

A the next week a wood delivery will arrive for the winter.

As I have not been well these days I have plenty to do but no hurry I’ll do my best this week.

Thank you for your concern and I wish you a nice week!
