On my way...







 Hello Friends,

On my way to our little post office ( opened only two hours a day)
I met these animals on my way on the village common grounds.
When I was spending my Holidays in England, I remember the children speaking of the commons.

This makes me think of when I was 11 I used to spend my holidays  with an English family in Amersham Buckinghamshire.
I liked to stay with this family of five children as I was an only child.
I must tell you the story of John C who was an 18 year old soldier
Who came to France and these young soldiers often came to my grandmother who had 9 children.
After the war the two mothers made friends and long after I went to meet them and took my grand parents to see John’s parents.
This was my second family!

Coming back to the common, full of buttercups, they don’t have to use lawn mower, but they have donkeys, goats...
These animals are from a place just across the street, a place where they do animal therapy for the people who have different problems.
Their animals pasture there during the day.
I hope you will have a nice weekend , here it will be Mother’s day!

My village.

 










Hello friends,

Today, I decided to take my stick and go walking in the village to show you where I live.
This is a village of 1000 people, but most of the people are now young people working out of the village, so it is empty during the week and the oldest now stay inside because of the virus.
Now we have a curfew at 6 pm and they switch all the lights and it is a very strange atmosphere.
The first picture is an arch in the wall that was around the village, the second one the lane going to the graveyard and church. The house was the presbytery’ then two manors.the piece of roof is typical of one end of a normand house. Then, the church a day piece of an old typical wall. A small cottage and the lawn


in the middle of the village.
Today, it is a spring day and we will have a nice week end.
I will give the giveaway result by the end of the afternoon.
