Cancale - June 2018

 

Last june my Grand Pa and I went away for 10 days in Bretagne. Ten blissful days filled with oysters, good wine, good beer and farniente. I could feel my otherwise very tense nerves melt inside my body.

It was really a dream and probably the best vacation I spent with my grand pa yet.

 

We stayed in Cancale, a very cute city by the city. We've been there a couple of years ago and loved it. But this time we had such a flawless weather. Beautiful sun but not too much heat.

Every single little thing was just perfect.

 

 

On the first day at the camp grounds, out neighbors gave us two king crabs just because they caught so much that day.

A great way to start our vacation... 

 

Of course Bob and Pete were there :p

 Bye for now!

5 Days with Jess

 

Jess recently moved in a caravan in a camping in Bretagne. I promptly visited her in this new life of hers. I love caravan life and camping. So does she.

 

After about 9 hours on a bus I eventually got there at 6 in the morning.

 

I chugged down two dozen oysters and a bunch of bulots upon arriving. I needed that.

 

Jess <3

 

Her little garden (I bought the daisy fence for her )

 

Always with me.

 

Blowing bubbles was one of our main activities during my stay. Yes, we are Spongebob and Patrick.

 

I bought alcohol ink markers  for really cheap. I love them!!!

I made two paintings for Jess to hang in her caravan while there. One of my garden and one of hers.

 

New friend, Goon the cat.

 

Beauty masks. Come on, make us irristible!

 

Feast!!! No veggies, just barbecued meat.

 

Playing farmer girl.

 

Second painting I did. this is Jess's garden.

 

Queen Beefy.

 

My garden, finished.

 

Looks like there's a big fire but it's just the barbecue. This picture cracks me up.

 

Queen Beefy. Again.

 

Dainty decor.

 

We spent a couple of nights reading in the caravan. How I loved it!!! Just sat there reading next to this girl...Bliss!

 

Straight from the 70's!

It was a fun 5 days with Jess. :)

Ha the memories... These pictures make me smile.

 

 

 

 

 

June 2018

 

My reading nook in june.

 

I customized a bunch of doll clothes. And tried to sell them on eBay. :p

 

Seed pods from my Mom's garden.

 

My brand new chest in mint green.

 

Growing oh so slowly if at all...

Coulée Verte / Promenade Plantée / Parc de Vincennes

 

On May 31st we took a walk on La Promenade Plantée, such a beautiful place to walk  in Paris.

It reminds me a lot about New York's High Line. You walk for a while on a path that must have been a railroad track above the street, and at some point you end up in nature surrounded by walls of greenery. It's really magical and I can't do it justice explaining. 

I only took pictures of the beginning of the walk. :/

 

Love the red brick buildings.

 

Crazy balcony.

 

 

White peacock up a tree!!

 

We ended up at the Vincennes park, quite a walk. We came back by the Metro. :p

 

I took a few cuttings of passiflora along the way :) Had to be clever for them not to die during our walk. I poured a bit of water into one of my film roll box, put the cuttings in the water, and wrapped it all in paper the sandwiches we bought came in. The cuttings survived and are thriving as I'm writing this 2 months later.

This makes me so excited!!!

ps: water propagation works well with passion flowers!
