Have a nice week!

corner view / gift(s)

When I saw today's topic, I immediately thought of the Corner to Corner

(more information here). Some times ago, I received a package from my friend Kristin (Germany). Inside there was two pretty gifts wrapped in a tenugui (a traditional Japanese fabrics from Joanne): lovely cards and tiny sheep bookmarks. These cool gifts were perfect for me, everyday I use bookmarks when I read novels.

But there was also another gift: see all these labels from the whole world, imagine that tenigui toured the world to carry small gifts ... what a beautiful project.

Now tenugui left for the USA at Renee's.

weekend

Last weekend was full. 

It started with a riding lesson with my fearful friend, Oasis ...

then, walk downtown to enjoy the "fête de la musique"...

... rock concert in a small square enjoying a Guiness beer ;)  ....

... for French: this is not Michel Blanc ...

... after a moment, the reading seemed better than music ...

... here is the apartment of a (soccer) french team fan...

... small gospel concert here ...

... in a beautiful garden, a choir was singing ... but not always in tune ...

... a beautiful sequoia ...

It was the feast of the pony club Sunday. Pony games for children ...

... couscous and refreshing drinks for parents ...

... and jumping for riders who want to do ...

Voilà !

ok go

OK GO

Bon weekend !

Any tips for England?

Next summer we will spend two weeks in England. 

We will stay in London and a few days in Brighton too. Last summer we were in London and we visited the most tourist places and museums. This year I would like to see another side of this beautiful city.

I would also like to visit the city of Bath, but it's just an idea for the moment.

If you have any tips on places or things to do (atypical, why not), please tell me!

Happy week :)

garden festival

Almost every year, we visit the Garden Festival at Chaumont-sur-Loire. That's what we did this weekend. The weather was very, very hot and there were (too) many people... We managed to visit 28 gardens created by landscape artists. As always, some are very good but others are not convincing.

It's not the best series of gardens that I saw ... Wait & see next year!

 If you want to see the official website is here. And if you want to see photos taken in previous years, it's here and here and here and here and here!
