My Christmas tree is done.

At the moment we just finished some sorting out of some cabinets and now I have done my 🌲.

This year I added some touches of red to the white and gold! 

I had a call with Maxime and now he says “ bye!” To grandma and his vocabulary is now much developed.

Have a nice week.

 

Christmas spirit!

 Hello Friends,

Today, the weather was not too bad this morning and awful this afternoon! Rain and heavy wind.

I went out this morning to begin my Xmas food shopping, while the shops were not too crowded.

This afternoon, I am choosing which Christmas biscuits I am going to bake with a cup of hot chocolate and a pine scented candle.

Parcels are being delivered and one of the room is nearly full!

My son sends his Xmas presents by mail before he arrives by plane.

As  my children have both new cats I went to get something for their pets.

I am now in the Christmas spirit!

There won’t be a lockdown, but we must be very careful during this festive time.

This year it is all white. 

I am going to prepare my gingerbread dough

To make my gingerbread men, I  will put one in each plate, on my Xmas table!

Did you start baking yet?

See you soon.

Preparing “Noel”

 Hello Friends,

I have a busy life at the moment and try to do my Xmas decoration.

All the bulbs are planted for Spring, I had a first answer of a retirement home for my mother.

We have been working hard to empty her flat and cleaned it.

This weekend, we must take a break and have a rest, before my son arrives from Dubai.

Growing numbers of people having the virus,

Mr L is working hard with many patients a day, it is still a sad time we are going through, but I try to be positive and prepare Christmas as usual.

I have put lots of lights in my decoration, the lights of Advent and joy. The weather is very dull , lots of grey skies and rain, but this morning I saw a rainbow.

I still have the decoration of the stairs to finish.

But, today I found some time to begin my Xmas tree!

Did you start your decoration?

Now I am thinking of the Xmas menu.

I have to find veggie recipes for my son’s wife.

I decided to cook a fish terrine and some smoked salmon as a starter. I must find the main dish ( we usually have turkey or roasted goose, but this year  I think we will have “ coquilles Saint Jacques “

Scallops, as a dessert a cake with chestnut mousse and “ marrons glaces” with sugar coated chestnuts.

Waiting to see your Christmas trees!
