Vives les vacances!
I have been longing for this for so long.
A break. Pause. Holidays. Disconnect. Reconnect. I feel so full of so much things now. Some trash I have to get rid of. Some stress to release. And some stuff like excitement, joy, hope, peace... some great expectations for life...
I don't know what more to say.
Actually I have loads to say. Loads of pix too. But too much time went by.
So I'll take some time this week for myself. To do stuff I long for again. And to take no more stress. And hopefully to keep you updated.
Our plan for this week consists in reading: a novel, my deco'magazines, my new Laurence Pernoud' book {no don't see an announcement here, it's just part of the maturation process!}, in cooking & baking of course, in enjoying the beach & sea with Fly, in spending some time with friends, family & hubby in nice places, in enjoying the simple moments & things of life after the whirlwind...
A few clichés of our Fly' super training...

Holidays' program
The program was written on a lil blackboard in the kitchen:
- play with Ticoulou {our new kitten}
- climb the hill {we see from our window)
- do some baking/cooking
- do some gardening
...
& everything was done with my bro D. & sis T. who were here for 2 days!
Muffin'baking
We baked some fruits des bois muffins with white chocolate icing, which I'll be able to share with you because for once I wrote down the ingredients & mesures! Moelleux a point... The alliance of the fruits acidules & sweet milky bar were simply srumptious! 
Pasta'chef
Later on, it was B's turn to take over the kitchen & concoct some pasta with a pancetta, mushroom & onion' sauce, sprinkled with parmeggiano & basil, & followed by a watercress salad. Mmmm... a delight!
Apart from cooking & eating, we of course played & stroked our kitty, climbed our hill, walked through the fields of sugar cane & filled it with laughs, mowed the lawn & planted some rocket...!
