Home again

This past 12 days has been spent with the family in France.  We had a great time.  The weather for most part was amazing, so warm and sunny.  We achieved lots of outside work and even had a day at the beach with the boys.  We went to a brocante.  Made plans for the next renovation work, and watched ourselves on TV!  Chateau de la Ruche was featured in episodes 6-10 (I'm in 10) and you can catch up on All 4 .  They were featured in House Beautiful UK and the Daily Mail online, so lots to read about if you so desire

The boys requested a visit to Omaha Beach on their Wednesday day off - its about 2 hours away from the Chateau - are we nearly there yet was asked on numerous occasions

We visited a museum which would have been more interesting for me had I been able to read instead of chasing after Laurie who dashed from one exhibit to another - "look at this Granny"!!!!  Small children........

Now home again, our home feels so tiny in comparison, but I'm glad I don't have all those rooms to clean. Our garden is looking lovely, the daffodils are out and everything is starting to bud up or leaf out, which is great as I moved more plants around recently.

My knitting will be back on track soon.  I did work on my Outing shawl whilst away, but need to cast on my March socks.

Anyway best get on, off for a spa day with the girls today.  See you soon
