Christmas 🧚 🧚‍♀️ 🧚 !

Christmas presents arrived from France!
One gift has been opened today!
Something special to learn French and English.
But more gifts to come on Christmas Day!


This is what I did this morning.
Four chocolate bars white, milk and dark.
Put them in the oven 50 degrés C
 For about 10 to 15 minutes.

Then you add cookies, nuts, raisins, peanuts…
Put it in the fridge for two hours then break it into pieces and put the pieces in bags or in jars.
I have put them in jars and will have to decorate them.


One Christmas when my son came for Xmas we went to visit a castle in Falaise Normandy and I showed him and my day in law a vintage Xmas shop windows mechanical dolls. They all come from shops in Paris.
And last year we visited the chateau champ de bataille 
Near our home. I like the fairy atmosphere of Christmas!

 Hello Friends 

Today, was a busy day! It started to the petrol station, then down to my shop it ends on Friday and the items I did not sell I will leave them and they will be sold and the money will go to associations that helps people in need. So nothing to bring home!

Then I went to the frozen store. They have very good Xmas dishes and as we will be only the two of us on the 24th I bought our meal before the rush hours! 

On the 25th I have ordered part of the meal and my daughter ordered the rest.

I went home and had my lunch then went to the post office to send my Xmas mail and went to buy a perfumed candle with a voucher I got when I bought my Xmas tree.

It is a nice perfume “fur  tree “🌲 

And I went to do the food shopping in the supermarket close to home.

Maxime received his Xmas presents I posted

Some presents were for Xmas and others for now, so he was very pleased with his present!

I just had him on Skype and he looked very happy 😊!

Now I am home relaxing. Yesterday I continued to sort out my cabinets and we will donate books and many things we don’t have the use on Saturday.

Today I feel tired but I did all I had to do, so I am pleased.

Tomorrow some more baking !

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.

End of our first adventure!
