Final straight line!

Hello Friends !

A quick hello between my packing and house cleaning before I leave.

Packing is more complicated when you’re getting old! There are not only clothes but médecines you must not forget and finding space for them 😂 

But I am used to packing as I had to pack every Sunday evening for a week at boarding school.

But now it is hard to choose which dress or which trousers I am going to to take for three weeks.

My Summer clothes are always ready cleaned and ironed so I have just to choose. I can take 40 kilos but 20 will be enough as summer clothes are light.

There is not much to write, the weather is gray but mild here.

Our son is on his way back home very happy by his boat travel through Antarctica. I share with you some of the pictures he took drone whale pictures.

My husband wanted to go out on Saturday and we found new Spring clothes already arrived in the shop

And this funny little bag on sale ( if you remember I love bags 😂 !)

Mr L has finished his  Bruegel puzzle and worked sometimes until 1AM ! It was a very difficult one a gift from our son.

And we bought frozen dishes for Mr L so he can use the microwave!

And finally some Goodies so good during winter time!

Now I will see you in Dubaï if you want to follow my adventures with grandsons 😂 ( if all goes well)

I will come back and visit your blogs when the children will be at school and nursery!

See you soon!

 

Happy New Year!

We finished our “Orient Express” puzzle we received for Christmas!a Maria Rivan’s puzzle (by La maison Hachette pratique)

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!😊

Hello Friends!

Yesterday we finally went to the chateau D’Argeronne which is an hotel ( chambres d’hôtes) wedding and seminars in an Orangery. A beautiful place but I forgot to take a picture. Instead of going to the sea because we did not know if it was going to snow.

A 17 th Century castle!

All the chateau’s  have a big land around there was a farm 

A pigeon house ( only for the upper class) and woods for hunting  with hounds.

This was the farming part

We had heating and wood fire inside

The beautiful stairs

I could not take many pictures of the artisans but the picture was hand made baby clothes in Toile de Jouy

It was very nice.

The entrance of the chateau

A grasshopper garden decoration as there was a  landscaper enterprise exhibition 

This is the guest house 

And the famous pigeon house! This one is still in a very good state.
 

Then my husband found some earrings and I had to choose a pair. It is made with peacock feathers and two different pheasants feathers 🪶 and I found a mohair and silk hand knitted scarf to match with my earrings . These people have cattle of Mohair goats 🐐 and do there own will.

There were only good quality gifts for Christmas and all was nice to look at!

So soft  warm and light!

I wish you a nice week!

What to do on a rainy Sunday?

This is what we did together yesterday afternoon 

I have one more to make on the same subject vegetables 

It is not finished but soon!

Starting a new puzzle.

And finished another small one

Hello friends !

This morning I received pictures and videos from my son. Dad has got a new car  and all the family tested it by going to « Sea world » Abu Dhabi .

Maxime and his brother are having lunch with the pingouins what a nice place for children to have their lunch!

Last Spring we went to an outing and we went to Jumieges Abbey to have a walk in the park these are the pictures I took and the last one is from Facebook « Normandie tourisme »

I like this Fall one with all the leaves.

With these rainy days I started a new watercolour 

And made myself a latte with our new coffee maker

Like the little hedgehog 🦔 in the picture this is what  we would like to build before the winter.

On Sunday we had a chat with the grandsons and it was good to see and chat with them! 

Internet is back but we had a problem with our TV I phoned the on line support and they helped me to get the connection back 😮‍💨 we don’t watch tv a lot but sometimes in the evening when there is a good program.

Hope all goes well now …

Thank you for your visit.
