Change of Scenery

Tomorrow we are going back to our home in England. We are leaving this beautiful little place -

but only for a few weeks, yay, and then we will be back at the cottage for the summer. I am really looking forward to seeing my family again, I do miss them, even though we skype and phone a lot. Not the same as being able to hug them though.

I know though that as soon as we are back in England, I will miss all this -

The amazing early morning views over the valley, different every day, sometimes crisp and clear, sometimes the valley is filled with clouds -

Rainbows over the little village in the valley, which we belong to -

No more simple French lunches of brie, camembert, pate, tomatoes, red onions, radishes and crusty country bread, sitting in the garden soaking up the view -

or walks with the doggies and smiling at the wild flowers -

I'll miss the roses in the garden as well -

And of course I will miss all our wonderful friends and neighbours. But when we get back in July, there will be lots of getogethers for aperos on mild summer evenings.

I have almost finished packing the car, and guess what is taking up most of the space? Yep, all the goodies from the French brocantes. I will have a very busy 3 weeks or so, listing my new treasures in the shop. I'll get cracking on that on Monday!

Until next week, toodlepip xxx
