Keeping busy…

This Camelia comes from my last year shopping at Ldl it was small and very cheap one . I like the colour of it I find 

It very nice.

This is the back of these numbered plates

Hello Friends!

Yesterday we wanted to go out, but we decided to save our  gasoline ⛽️ ( we may have problems soon to get gasoline)

So we wanted to be busy  not to think too much and we tided and sorted out the house  room after room. On the pictures this is our spare room where we stored our children toys, Christmas decorations … and this is part of the laundry room and craft room.

 With clothes, shoes and other items we gave 11 big boxes to the charity store on Saturday.

This is not finished! While sorting through my shelves, boxes and furniture I found my small plates I was looking for. One month by plate they are very nice English plates.

I must try to find some months I don’t have.

That’s May

April

September 

July

June.

I must have a look on the net if I can find the others.

Today, it is shiny but rather cold. I am thinking about my son’s family in Dubai, our grandsons and praying that all will quickly find an end. We worked a lot yesterday and I will continue today but slowly and watch some episodes of “Vera” this afternoon, make yogurt and bread. 🥖 

I wish you a peaceful week!
 

Baking, travelling and gardening!

These are the books I have been looking at last night and they gave me the idea of making Macaroons again.

This morning I had a look at the little scrapbooking I did when coming back from Japan.

I love this picture of a statue representing the family.

There is one on the wall in the entrance .

I went once to « Laduree” in Paris to taste it’s pastry

They are very good and very famous.

It was when my son and daughter in law were studying in Paris. We often went there , but I did not like to drive  in the traffic jams all the time!

Yesterday, I went for a garden tour and noticed the white Camélia was going to bloom and has so many flowers!

The first daffodil of the year

Hellebores. They have suffered from our last very hot and dry Summer.

 First pink Camélia flower.

This week I must get some nourishment for the peonies  they need some especially the new Japanese one I had for my Birthday last year. All our plants have suffered a lot even some died because of last Summer’s heat .

Tomorrow “Nono”the robot comes back from its wintering and will cut the grass before the mole come back. Next door all the sheep are gone we won’t have any cute lamb’s birth this year! It looks so empty!

Last night, I had a look at my “Laduree” baking book and had the idea of making some lemon Macaroons

I also made some salted caramel ones! 😋
