normandy break...

Back from Normandy & so many errands to run! Urban life seems like a rude awakening compared to the idyllic week we spent in the countryside.

The summer skies of Normandy always take my breath away. In this picture, we are on the way to the pond to clear the weeds.

The children already had plans of their own.

etang

After the pond's cleared... we took frequent walks to look at the frogs, listen to the sounds of nature & enjoy the sun.

arbre

The oak tree which made F's parents fall in love with the land & purchase it. It's over 300 years old & stood testament to the reign of Louis XIV.

huitres

Fresh seafood from the port of Deauville. We ate so much this past week... warm fresh bread every morning from the boulangerie, heaps of butter churned by hand, creamy cheese from the region... long & heavy dinners... coffees & pastries & tarts... i put on so much weight it's not even funny :(

Have a great week ahead & please eat wisely! xx
