Hello Friends 
It has been  some days before I post today, but I had a lot to do , my husband had flu after he vaccinated and i myself am not too well for three weeks.
After having the electrical problem, coffee maker out and now oven problems it was hectic but most of the problems are solving!
The new coffee maker arrived and we are pleased with it it grounds coffee ☕️ 
On Saturday I tried to go out and it was hard but we went to a new concept store and had coffee we found little watercolour books a tiny puzzle and had a latte macchiato with a little home made apple and caramel cookie.
The electrical problem is solved for the moment… when the electrician came he had to go in a bedroom upstairs and with a ladder had to go in the attic I  wanted to hold the ladder for him but he said he could manage! I was downstairs and received a phone call it was him asking me to come  the ladder had slid  and he was stuck in the attic 😂 you could see two legs moving in the air it was fun ! Then I held the ladder for the rest of the work.
Tomorrow is a Bank holiday here and we will both have a rest!
I’ll soon visit blogs and catch up!
Have a good week.

Hello Friends!

The flowers next to the watercolour is from Lego
My husband did two for his Japanese Lego decoration.

Hello Friends !

Today, it was a fine day after the early morning rain and we decided to to go out before tomorrow nos bad weather.

We first went to a garden center Desjardins we had a look and decided to go to they restaurant, but it was closed! On the 1rst of November some shops and restaurants are open and some are closed. On their site it was open?

So we decided to test a new restaurant but we have been very disappointed ☹️ never mind we will go to the good one we know next time. We had a no alcohol Mojito then a scallop dish  it was expensive and my husband was still hungry 😋 the desert was not good I did not take any pictures.




Then we went to one of our favourite shop close to the Abbey. Some of you already know it but it is always a pleasure to go in the park and in the church.

This is the map of the Abbey before the French Revolution !




I like this picture of very old trees





 This is the pretty shop we love to go to « l’Atelier de Tess »and this is also a Bed and Breakfast. I will show you my finds next time.

Yesterday for Halloween 🎃 I had 17 children coming for sweets! Nothing left !
