Where to go??....

....that's the question I ask myself these days.

This is how our table looks like at the moment. It is so typical us to be late with our holiday planning. We know now that we are going to Norway for a couple of weeks. That is of course a must (see family, friends, do some fishing etc). But for me who hungers for sun (we could not rely on the sun in Norway that's for sure) needs to know I can have that in the end of summer. I still have our last year summer holiday in Croatia freshly in memory, and would love to go back, but it is a far long way to drive though. So my thought is France (again, yes, but why not?). Provence is an area that is close to my heart, in a fair distance, and not over explored for our point of view. So now I search for a nice house, with pool, in the countryside, not far from the beach, and with atmosphere..... is that possible to find??. Do you know about a hidden gem like this please feel free to send me comment, and I will continue my search.... Merci 

Portes Ouvertes

Today the Luxembourg Accueil had their doors open for everyone. This is an expo where you can see what the women (and few men) have been working with over the past year. You could find hats, paintings, pictures, knittings, embroideries and even the choir and theatre group had a performance, while some ladies where serving coffee and croissantes..... 

Church Fair

For over 30 years the Anglican Church has hold their annual Fair. This has become for us a tradition as well, something that we can not miss! Strolling around in this huge old garden, sipping champagne under fruit trees, playing games and tombola, makes us feel that time has been set back for a century. The fair has truly a romantic atmosphere, especially when we have the weather on our side.
Looking forward to next years fair already...

Summer lunch

Just came back from a lunch with the girls from my french course. We were only 8 but had food for a whole army! The nice thing with events like this, when each bring a dish, is the variety. Today we had asian, south african, dutch, english, italian, greek and scandianvian dishes represented. Nice lunches like this could happens more often I think...

SATC 2

I admit it, I am a fan of the 4 girls in Sex and the City. Therefor I had a great girls evening with movie and drinks last night. To much of the good things could never be wrong, or...?

have a nice day

Alsace

I am back from a nice weekend in France. Took my mother and children for a little  trip to one of the nicest places in France (believe me there are many of them!), Alsace. I love the small medieval villages, the wine cellars, markets and atmosphere. I post some pictures for you so you can decide for yourself....
