Back to my daily routine!

Yesterday I did some dusting and  took some dust out of this mask. It’s Inari a Japanese divinity ( a fox)

And it made me smile because Maxime our grandson was scared of it!

Maxime and his family are soon going for October school holidays to Scotland! So lucky, such a beautiful place!

 Here is Bandit happy to relax after the kennel.

In the evening he is asking for bedtime very early time of the kennel! A sort of jet lag 😂 

Drinking my morning coffee but not eating the biscuit ( dieting) only for decoration!

I found a cherry cake filling in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 

We don’t have that sort of can in France… or I have not seen.

Before going on holiday I found this pleated big dot top.

Some of a wall decorations 

I love this Japanese representation of a family so cute!☺️ 

And these three Robins aren’t they cute?😊 

The lorry 🚛 came to deliver the fuel for the boiler and I am ready for the coming winter!

I have appreciated our holidays, the friendly atmosphere of the hotel with no cooking, no dusting only walking, reading and resting!😌 now I slowly start again my normal routine!

Thank you for visiting, have a nice day!

Working for my daughter.

Hello Friends,

This morning I am continuing my researched in my big collection of “Country Living”. I am looking for places to visit, hiking places and where to stay in Great Britain.🇬🇧 

I am doing this for my daughter who likes places in the countryside and go hiking.

In May she and her husband are going for a tour of Europe during one month. I  am in charge to find places of interest  

In the places o visited and for their next travel I am preparing for them a visit of the English countryside.

I am drinking my tea in my “Emma Bridgewater tea pot and mug! I found the same in one of my July 2007 Country Living!

I will make a file with all the articles I am going to to find

I love the beautiful covers of their magazines and the decoration, always inspiring

This afternoon I will be going out in the foggy, horrible damp , cold weather to do my grocery shopping.

Work on my very complicated puzzle! 🧩 

Hope you enjoy your day!

A Birthday 🍰

 Hello Friends !

This week I found this little house for Maxime

My morning coffee with yesterday cookies 🍪 to start the day! Mug from Emma Bridgewater «  Jack Russell »

I got the new barbecue cover

I did the varnish on my transfers

Today is a special day! Maxime’s Birthday 🎂 

He his two today. His nursery is closed for a week, due to flooding in Dubaï. This afternoon he will have a Birthday party with his nursery friends at home. It will be an international Birthday party with little boys coming from different parts of the world 🌎 !

I wish I could be there, but with the terrible weather there the airport landing tracks are flooded and there are no planes anyway.

Tomorrow is Friday and the end of the week I hope the weather forecast will get better for the weekend as this week has been an awful week with the windstorm during three days. 

Tomorrow I’ll get the vegetables I ordered at the farm for the week and then try to go out during the weekend with my husband.I just looked at the weather forecast and no 🌧️no wind 💨 for the weekend ! 😮‍💨 

Something vintage....

 Hello friends,

Today, is a cold day, too cold to haves now. But some snow in Brittany and soon coming to Normandy.

We have sun and -7C but feel -15C Better stay inside and feed the birds!

Today, I chose to show you a find , this is a child wash stand dating back to the 20 th century .

Once a month, there is an antique market outside along the river Seine. It is very pleasant to walk on the promenade and look at vintage items and talk with the owners.

I love this little wash stand which is in very good condition .

The earthenware is well kept and I had rather leave it’s original condition.

The giveaway should be arriving today I will post a picture as soon as it arrives, it has been delayed to Friday....

Wishing you a good day, stay safe.
