Strawberry harvest

It is Mother’s Day here in France, and I was thrilled to be given this lovely rose at my local shop this morning.

I never realised just how pretty wild garlic was! Here it is in all its flowering glory in the garden of La Grange.

Nothing says, “Spring is here!” Better than a bunch of bright yellow daffodils from the garden.

Peach blossom and a clear blue sky.
Bon week-end!

This week marked the first anniversary of the first lockdown in France. One year one, and although we are no longer in lockdown, our right of movement and other restrictions are in place, and the future is still very unclear.
Like many people, I have found this ongoing situation very challenging. However, spring is here and I am filled with a new sense of hope. A first post after a long absence is always a difficult one, but I’ve chosen this image as I feel it sums up the innocence of childhood and it always makes me smile.
Unfortunately I do not know who took the photo or I would of course credit them.

What a great idea!
Has anyone tried this?

We couldn't resist passing this fun activity on to you - the children will love it! In wintry temperatures, fill balloons with water and food colouring. When the water has frozen, remove the balloon and you have giant marbles! (from homesteadsurvival.com)

We had snow today here in Normandy....
I thought I’d post 2 photos of La Grange, one taken today, and the other last May....Stay safe and warm wherever you are and hope to see you all very soon.
