Hello Friends!

These last days I have done watercolour from some Japanese shops the first one in Kyoto and the second one in Osaka. This reminded me of my travels to Japan 🇯🇵 

The flowers next to the watercolour is from Lego

My husband did two for his Japanese Lego decoration.

It was so hot in October there was a typhoon when we were there the last time that I bought a fan.🪭 

This morning the electrician came and it is worse than he thought and have to come again tomorrow! I helped him this morning, open the light, switch of the light, going up, going down!!! This afternoon I have an hairdresser appointment and will rest!

Have a nice first November week!
 

A story and a souvenir

Today I went to look at my Facebook and I saw a picture of Kyoto under the snow ( from places to see before you die) and it reminded me of my stays in Japan and how lucky I am to have visited the country!

My first stay was at 18 when I met a Japanese girl as we were “Au Pairs” in England. We became friends and she stayed in France for some months before going back to her country. Then we decided we will meet again and I worked two years during my  holidays in a bank and then could pay my plane fare to Japan.

She took me ( her name is Masako) to kyoto and I fall in love with the place!  I stayed two months in Tokyo.

Then  for my 60 th Birthday I received a plane ticket to go to Japan by myself I stayed with a family this time in Kyoto and the third time we went together with my husband. My two children also stayed in Japan 🇯🇵 for a road tour. The whole family went to Japan and I am glad my children had the opportunity to visit such a beautiful country!

Now Masako is married and has two children like me a girl and a boy. This is a very good souvenir!
