A quiet Autumn day.

Hello Friends,

Watching Miss Marple and doing paper crafts at the same time. This morning I made orange and Whisky jam.

And this afternoon I prepared the jam jars still got some label to print.

I cut a lot of paper crafts to hang in the boys room.

Look at what I found to put in Santa’s letter box!

Two 3D Xmas cards for the boys.

When opened!

I also got my favourite white Amaryllis 

Orange jam!( on top. Organic ones)

 And finally one of the chocolate muffins I baked yesterday.

I am feeling better with the treatment for the moment, but rest a lot before the rush. Tomorrow I’ll try to go and order the food for Christmas Eve and day. It is time!

The Xmas tree has not been delivered yet! Hope it arrives very soon!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

This and that…

Hello Friends!

Saturday I was not feeling too well so grandpa did some shopping on his own, but yesterday I was a little better so we went out in the afternoon it was 17 degrees C!

We gained 17 degrees in one day???

One of The only shops opened  on Saturday had some Christmas decorations, so we bought some for the garden and also some lights.

This morning I made some jam and little pots of jams I found yesterday for the children .

Banana coconut and yellow kiwis and grapefruit.

Grandpa built the baby bouncer for William 

Grandma had a rest colouring a Christmas picture from my Dutch magazine “Daphne’s diary”

 And this is  a part of what fell from the roof, better not be underneath!

Now I will prepare the meals and rest, knitting and watching tv, not doing much!

I feel a little better with the treatment for the moment waiting for my clinic appointment in December.

Jam making day!

 Hello Friends,

This is making jam day! On Sunday, we got 7kg fruits and yesterday I start making strawberry jam and plum jam.

Today, I have a little left to make and put labels and decorate the jars for winter. 

I have cut a bunch of sweet peas from the garden.

After make ng jam I will make a plum pie for tonight.

These are the orchards all along the “ fruit road “ along the river Seine. We can get apple and pears in Autumn, all sorts of plums, strawberries, raspberries, cherries… all red fruits in Summer

At best prices especially those for jam. These fruits can’t be sold on the markets but they don’t keep long so you have to make jam quickly!

Ready to keep in the closet for winter.

I still have problems to leave comments I hope it won’t last too long!
