This and that !

Hello friends!

Yesterday was a busy day. I had no time to go on my blog.

9 O’clock I drove to the butcher to place an order for Christmas Eve meal, then drove 12 kms to get the food for two weeks in total I had to go to four different shops

Then come back home at 12 h 30 unload the car, put everything away in the fridge… and have my salad eaten!

It was very heavy so hurt my back had to take painkillers 

For the rest of the day. But then I started

my Christmas decoration and  but I will get the tree 🌲 on Saturday with my husband too heavy for me!

I made an oranges garland with the oranges I dehydrated.

Our grandchildren had a four days bank holiday and my son took them to ski Dubai and the next day to have a picnic in the desert.🐪 they have seen camels.

Here are my two little boys! Then I had a chat with Maxime which is always great fun.

Last Saturday the weather was miserable but we went out

All day and went to one of our favourite  shop to have a look and say hello. This is the little shop and B&B

The owner is a very nice person and we made friends with her. So she invited us next Saturday to have a hot wine and cookies with other customers one of them will play music while his wife will sing Christmas carols and we will sing together.  It will be red wine with spices and oranges in Normandy we also do it with cider only for Christmas.🎄 so I am impatiently waiting for this convivial moment! 

Making mince pies’ I remembered there is lard in the shortcrust pastry in my English recipe book and it was hard to find but I have got it! It really makes the difference!

Pictures from last Spring ! A house nearby so beautiful!

Today, will be baking day ! Baking Christmas cookies for Saturday’s event!

I wish you a nice day!
 

A busy weekend.

Hello Friends!

This is the only new decoration for this year I have got too much!

Macaroni cheese

Last husband Lego creation!

We had lunch in Le Neubourg

This is the Brasserie restaurant which is called “ the two zebras” because the owners are twins. ( zebras in slang are the two funny zebras ( guys) )

I always found it was a strange church architecture?

We finished the two vegetable puzzles.

This weekend it was a busy one! We went to a town called Louviers where I ordered some clothes from the Tuesday live. Before ( I forgot) we went to the concept store

And I bought two new little puzzles  and had a latte macchiato. Then we drove to another town Le Neubourg and we had our lunch there. I should not have eaten this lemon meringue  cake… but so good!😊
