walking paris - photography impressions ...

approaching Paris

 

Rucksacks packed and at the ready ... 5 days of Paris are waiting 

 

all aboard --the Eurostar train in London ... last we travelled to London when Maya was still snuggled up in my womb ... a trip for my birthday ... now 10 years later I have a young lady next to me who is ever so exited ... ahh how time flies... just where on earth is my baby gone :-) 

 

nosed deep in magazines as the train speeds through the tunnel ..

 

ahh finally ..the long awaited food carraige in the train ... for a steaming bowl of typical french cuisine ... smoked sausage and pork belly on a cassoulet of lentil ... yum

followed by a delicious hot chocolate... and Maya is in travel heaven:-) 

 yep ...his is fun ... " I could do this all day " ..she declares as I stare in wonder at this marvelllous young lady

so half an hour to go ..before we arrive in Paris ... find out little apartment

and let the senses be invited into a city of wonderous delights ...

weekend joy

the lovely sunshine we have had this spring has rejuvenated us deeply .. and the garden is getting it's fair share of our attention ..



- planted 3 raspberry and 1 gooseberry bush ... fingers crossed they will take in their newly dug beds filled with a good dose of well rotted manure




- we had fun starting a sunflower race .. each little terracotta pot contains. each persons "secret compost ingredient" and a lot of love to see which sunflower will raise it's head closest to the sun ... for now they are wrapped up warm in a dark ace waiting to germinate




- we had a beautiful visitor to our little garden ... a deeply red colored moth .. does anyone know what it's name is ?




- a trip to the local garden centre left 2 girlies oogling the gorgeous little mouslets ... and after an refreshing " easterish " cappuccino ...




- we could not resist giving 2 little girls a new home






.. welcome Bell




and Bloomers :)




whilst the man couldn't resist teasing the goldfish ...




glub ... glub




babe finished off by doing the garden centre Easter hunt ... 10 clues ... 10 eggs hidden ... and a mini chocolate egg bag as a prize :)


a joyful weekend

Tintagel ... a peek at a medieval house

had a fab stopover in Tintagel for the night ,


... a small tiny village on a dramatic coastline




found a little medieval manor house built in the 14th century , in the 19th century it hosted a post office ... had a peek at how life played itself out in medieval times




let's peek




the heart of the home with a built in oven ...




keeping warm beside the fire




the lady of the house




a little candlelight perhaps ...




let's take wander into the upper living quarters ..




a beautiful little writing desk with warm soft light falling in on a sunny day ..




and space for a little love




handwork




an embroidered sampler




the young female members of the household showing off their skills with needle and thread and various different types of embroidery stitches ..




the tiniest if little window nooks




I wonder how deep this well is in the garden ?




the perfect little bench to rest a while ...




and feast your eyes on gorgeous spring flowers




a peek at the tiny little windows from the outside of the house




we did enjoy our little visit to this beautiful house .... now let's go and visit Tintagel castle ...
