Some new finds during our getaway.

Bandit is really not well today

I will soon use the fireplace 

This time i bought some Italian liquid soap instead of solid ones. ( this picture should be at the end but  blogger decided differently!)

Hello Friends,

Today, Bandit our dog is not feeling well well.

I took him for a little walk and he was not well.

I did not use the buggy yet outside I had a try inside for him to get used to it.

This week mom is in India for her work and dad is  looking after the boys. Hard work !

II found some new shoes for Autumn 🍂 

 A gift from Mr L. This year I like brown and burgundy. I also found a burgundy cardigan at C&A. When we go there every three months we  do our shopping at the same time from the outlets.

Today we’re having some rain!🌧️ good for the garden and fresh air! I will soon lit the fire place!

At the same time I am watching the news which are very bad here!

I think I will do some watercolour this afternoon and in between continue the laundry! 🧺 

Happy Birthday 🎂 William!

 Hello Friends!

In the midst of the  chaos, this little boy is two today! Dad went to get a birthday present last evening. An excavator! 

From all of us.

The situation in Dubaï is stable and safe for the moment only planes that takes people flying home.

Yesterday it was very warm 19 degrees C. Fortunately I can stop the boiler to save oil ( oil and gasoline prices are  going up!)

Despite these world worries, the outside world here is welcoming Spring. We had one weeping willow trimmed but the other one is beautiful 

Pierre de Ronsard roses

New watercolour book about spring 

Nothing is fixed yet I made some yo-yos yesterday and will decide how to do it.

I found in my craft room something of forgot about 

Some watercolour card to be painted. I think I’ll paint this wheelbarrow today.

Do you remember when we used these ink pens at school?

I used some mintage nibs. Grandma has sent a little video to William for his Birthday this morning We 🥰 love ❤️ you William! Dad’s Birthday 🎁 is on the 8th! 

Have a nice day and enjoy the moment!

See you soon!

The temperature is cold for Dubai this morning my son told me it was 11 C the coldest winter! But 23 C in the afternoon until 5!

Hello Friends!

Just a quick post to say thank you for your messages!

Today I did the last shopping for my husband, put notes for him to know how the different machines are working… weighted my luggage. Yesterday I did my online checking. Now my small air fryer is heating a croque monsieur I made myself. Then I’ll finish all I have to do before leaving for Paris Roissy airport.

Well I have better go. See you soon and thank you for your visits !

We are waiting for another storm over Brittany which is already flooded! Huge waves and strong winds  again!

I saw that in USA it will be very very cold! Stay safe and « Bon courage! »

They arrived!

Yesterday, they arrived ! Fortunately we feel better but tired.

Grandma has bought some warm clothes warm jackets in the Netherlands as it is cold.

Grandma got up at 4 AM , the children have been waking up early with three hours difference with their country, so grandma is very tired, but with a lot of hugs grandma is very happy 😃 

We did a little walk in the country this morning and Maxime said we were going in the jungle because of the lot of trees! I did not know I was living in the jungle 😂 

 In the afternoon we went to Desjardins a big garden centre with lots of Xmas decorations, eat at the restaurant and had a look at the fish, rabbits and birds.

William is not feeling too well because of his teeth and is now in bed, Maxime is playing with grandpa in his police car.

I am resting in my recliner before preparing the meal.

Finally after this first day grandma will sleep well… she hopes! See you soon for grandma ´s adventures!
