Chantilly Kaleidoscope
The other day when I was in Chantilly for a cocktail déjeunatoire, we also had the opportunity to visit the André Le Nôtre exhibition at the Salle du Jeu de Paume. Right along the Auberge du Jeu de Paume where we stayed this winter. André Le Nôtre (1613-1700) was a landscape architect and gardener who Read article…
A sunny Cinemagraph
As you can see, Rose really enjoyed the wonderful weather we had this weekend! A few hours later she (and me) looked more like a tomato… we didn't quite feel the power of the sun because there was a light breeze. The same breeze that is playing with her feather earrings :o) I'm by far Read article…
the Sugar Factory of Francières
This weekend we went back to the Sugar Factory. Ever since our visit last summer I wanted to go back and go inside. Apparently visiting la Sucrerie de Francières isn't easy: it's closed most of the time… but not this weekend! The sugar industry played a prominent role in the economy of my region and Read article…
I’m on cloud fine

Goodbye 2012!

So many kids
One of the perks of december is a mailbox full of festive cards. For the 8th time in a row, my dad & I worked on the xmas cards for an elementary school in the Netherlands. The challenge is to be as efficient as possible, because with 460 kids and always a few ill ones Read article…
