Our Home in Normandy

Hello friends!  

Somebody asked me a picture of our home. So this morning I went out to take pictures and look at the moles heap to take them off before the robot cut the grass.

This Saturday we must clean the terrace  and we decided to re organise the garden.🪴 

This is the white rose bush on my garden shed
 

The entire house but hidden by bushes. Three windows upstairs typical of Normand houses. It will be warm but not with a blue sky today!

This  is a 70’s house copying Normand houses. On the right side there is a balcony and the special roof particularity of Normand houses. 

This is the rose bush near the window shutter

My beloved “Pierre de Ronsard” I like his poem: Mignonne, allons voir si la rose…” 

It’s coming up the arch now.

Today, is the beginning of  the coming very hot day coming from Sahara the sky should be full of sand and orange in some places! Better take the car in the garage!

We will have sand everywhere on the roof windows…

Tonight we will move the furniture for tomorrow stove installation. We won’t have the downstairs AC installed yet for the heat wave it will be done end of June unfortunately.

I am thinking about how to  re structure the garden a little

In September we will have the garage door changed and next will be the gate. I chose gray colour  for the door and it will match the gate. I don’t particularly like gray but

If we decide  to move one day it is a modern colour young people like. And an electric door to be easier for us.

This is what we have decided for the moment!

Better go and put the car in the garage now!

So I wish you a nice day and thank you for your visits!

A lazy day!

Today, is a beautiful sunny day. I am sitting outside in my confortable recliner surrounded by roses. Bandit is hunting moles!

This rose bushes is starting to bloom and will be covered by hundreds of small roses in a few days.

They are all at school or at work and there are only the birds songs and the wind 💨 so it is not too hot.

Foxgloves are starting to bloom.

Bees are arriving  attracted by the basswood flowers and the rose bushes.

I should work! I did the first coat of paint, but yesterday I was tired and not feeling well, so today, I did the house work and I will make an apple and rhubarb crumble , while the washing machine is working for me 😆 

I have cut some rhubarb from the garden and I already had one kilogram and made a rhubarb pie.

Then I must catch up with your blogs!

See you soon!

A Sunday’s rest.

 Hello friends,

Today, my ankle is bad again and I have to wear a foot orthosis for six weeks!

Mr L is cleaning the garden chairs while I am sitting outside resting my ankle.

I have the workers for the air conditioning who are coming tomorrow and one more quote on Tuesday.

I decided which firm I will choose for the changing of doors and windows.

Here we must change our windows and doors and heating to improve the insulation of houses and use bioclimatic means of heating.

As we want to move within 3 or 4 years when MrL retires.

From where I am I can see the rose bushes  with SO many flowers!

It is hot and we are having blue sky as you can see.

I can hear the bees coming from our neighbours hives, collecting nectar from the flowers and the new born sparrows singing and looking at me from the gutter and the cooing of pigeons.

I will have a busy week and don’t know how I am going to cope with my ankle…

I hope your’re having a quiet Sunday and a good week.
