HOT HOT HOT

Having a great time in Spain as always.

I made these glass jars the other day.

Simple kitchen jars with a lid that my son made holes in

with a screwdriver so it could fit a straw.

Fill it up with whatever you want,

you'll avoid spilling, sand or insects in it.

And perfect to bring to the beach or to the picnic......

And to fill them I suggest,

White Sangria

Slice some fruits
(I used orange, lime, lemon and grapes)
fill a quarter up with ice cubes
top it with 50/50 white wine and Sprite/7up

Or skip the wine and replace it with sparkling water for a non alcohol drink.

At 1911m

The reason for being in Provence for the weekend was my husbands crazy idea to cycle the challenging "Mont Ventoux race".

The day before the race we decided to take the car and drive the route they should cycle the next day. From 25 degree by the pool till 4 degree at 1911!

First I fell poor for the guys for the steep 22km to the top, but when we drove down on the other side of the mountain I panicked a bit.

Narrow roads and no secure fence!!

Luckily it ended well and all 4 lads cycled safely over the finish line.

But are they ready for the next years challenge?

I'm definitely ready for a new trip to Provence

 so count me in for the support team :-)

Beaumes de Venise

Spent a long weekend in Provence in the picturesque village

 of Beaumes de Venise.

For God-knows-how-many-years I've had a 

crush on France and especially Provence. 

And now I'm gonna enjoy the area once again......

aaaaahhhhhh looking forward to it.

Au revoir!

Scandinavian influences...

Yesterday I had the pleasure to visit the showroom 

 Nordic Light Design in Kehlen, Luxembourg.

If you are into Scandinavian design it is worth a visit!

Upcycle or recycle....

..... are people in Luxembourg ready for it?
