My little world.

A souvenir from my father who made it

Today, I was looking at some little corners I like in our home. As my son says: “it’s my world!”

So let me show you my little world!

 Yesterday, I went to the clinic to the anesthetist. This part of the clinic is the old part where I was born in Rouen. Now it’s no more a maternity but a clinic.

My taxi was on time and I had no stress!.

I keep my stress for THE day! 😆 on the surgery day Mr L will accompany me, he took a day off.

Mr L is on duty day at his medical office, so we will have a short weekend. Today is Skype day with Maxime my baby grandson we spend one hour together with my son and this is the nicest part of my week!

Then tomorrow we are planing to go to the sea and breathe some fresh ( cold) air. The weather won’t be fine, but we both need to go out.

Cooking and walking

Hello Friends 

Yesterday after my weekly shopping, I decided to make a bread and butter pudding, but I had no time to make the custard. So I will make it today. The bread and butter pudding was with pears and currants soaked in Brandy.brown sugar on top and cinnamon.

Then I cooked endives with ham béchamel sauce and cheese for dinner. It’s a complete dish and easy to cook in advance.

 

This is the early morning and I had my big coffee , toasts and orange juice, ready to prepare Mr L ‘s sandwiches. This week our weekend will be short as he is on duty. 

This afternoon the taxi is coming to take me to the clinic for my anesthesist appointment. The clinic is 

30 km’s from home.it is always a stress to know if I will be on time! The next week will be surgery time!

Last year we decided on a Sunday to go to a village not very far from home which is a village of thatched houses, as they were in the old days in Normandy.

I love walking on these little lanes and discover beautiful flower gardens and houses. It is located on the bank of the river Seine.

Only a few cottagers left to repair or re thatch the « Chaumières »

Clay on top and Irises

This is a very peaceful place full of beauties!

We had a nice walk and afternoon there!

I wish you a nice weekend.

A new beautiful day !

Hello Friends,

Today, we are all waiting for Spring , Sun and Flowers!

I thought I could share with you these  little videos  I made from home and one from Maxime.

What a lot of  energy has Maxime! Awakening  to life and calling for mum! I often watch this video , even Bandit the dog reacts and talk to Maxim when I watched it.

It gives me a lot of energy! 

I hope you enjoy these videos!

 

Today, I must go food shopping and call the taxi  for tomorrow, not to forget to take me to the clinic. We still have frost and cold temperatures but a blue sky and a bright  sun 🌞 

I wish you all a very good day!

Eggs 🥚 in a nest 🪺 .

Hello Friends!

We are already in March! It is not quite Spring yet. I remember we had snow in April and with this strange weather nowadays it is always a surprising weather!

Last year we went from winter to Summer without Spring. I rather like cold weather than too hot as last year but we never know…

This is a drawing I found this morning I did not remember about it…

My son has sent me this picture from my grandson in Dubai . This is taken in the souk of the Dubai Mall.

The armchair is big, but Maxime looks so tiny, like a little bird!

Speaking of bird, this is a nest I found in the garden

It has fallen from a tree. How beautiful  it is made!

These are some eggs 🥚 in the water I drew a long time ago.

This one I drew during the lockdown 

I am bird watching everyday and yesterday I renewed the birds water and each time they are queuing to drink. Bluetits , sparrows, robins, blackbird and pigeons.

The blackbird always takes a big bath splashing all the water 💦 so I have to bring some more for the others!

Soon it will be Easter and egg 🥚 hunting in the garden for the children  after church.

 

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a good day.
