Heat and architecture.

Hello Friends !

When it’s so hot 🥵 (around 35C today) the hottest day of the week a place to be cool is a cathedral or a church !

I remember staying in Germany during the Summer holidays and visiting Koln (Cologne) it was so hot that I stayed most of the afternoon in the beautiful cathedral.

The first four pictures are from an Abbey close to us.

Very big and beautiful with a big garden around.

Some details of our Court of justice

Our Gros Horloge ( our big clock street)

Typical Normand houses

Rouen Cathedral 

This is from another church in Louviers such as beautiful piece of art!

And finally I found this picture on facebook. A farmer had the idea to protect his cows from the heat, a good idea!

This afternoon I unfortunately have to go out to have a foot X ray before the MIR . It is very painful for me to walk for the moment and I will have no choice but to use a wheelchair for long walks when our son will arrive soon. I will get it on Saturday. Better a wheelchair than stay inside! We will see what’s wrong  and hope my problem can be solved…

Thank you for coming.

My favorite flowers and Rouen

 Just to wish you a good week!

( I will have 25 flowers.  ).  My taxi is booked for tomorrow morning to go to Rouen hospital 

7.30 am one hour drive in the traffic jams of the morning!

Then wait I expect all morning  for the exams, but I hope to get my right eye back to normal…

Yesterday, afternoon we have been working in the garden

And I have planted salads and sunflowers 🌻 sunflowers.

These are views from Rouen in Normandy, but tomorrow no time to stroll in the narrow streets.

Back in time with Flaubert

 Hello Friends

This year it is the year of Flaubert our Normand writer , he wrote

Madame Bovarysme. Films have been made from the book.

For my son’s wedding I have hired a caleche from the owner of the kennel my dog use to stay. He has horses and is champion of France of horse carriage.

The town of Rouen ( Normandy) has asked him for a film to illustrate the Flaubert year.

So this is him and his horses in front of Rouen’s Cathedral.

I love this cathedral I would like to show it to you but because of our successive lockdowns  it is impossible for the moment.

This is it at my son’s wedding.

I have been in it and I love it, the clicking of the horse’s steps

You are really going back in time!

I wish you a nice weekend.
