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...

A few days in Pointe d'Esny
Plage de Pointe d"Esny
Mieux vaut tard que jamais!
We're back since Sunday afternoon, with a nice tan, 2 more kilos after indulging ourselves with the most exquisite food {boeuf charolais, langoutes fraiches grillees, filet de capitaine frais, proscuitto gruyere & onion cake, banana & chocolate muffins, nice & fresh salads, just to name a few...}, & also a sore throat {for me}!
J. & gorgeous Tristan
Altogether this was another lovely week-end that involved good moments with our friends P.& J., cooking together, savouring great champagne & wines, reading & resting on the beach...
So you'll understand that a few days were needed to rest, unpack, clean the house,& prepare my mom's birthday party yesterday...{coming next}

Petit sejour a Trou d'Eau Douce
Kitesurf a TDD
B. is away visiting a friend tonight & I am on my own... but I must admit actually that I quite enjoy being by myself sometimes. B. insisted that I invite a friend, but I didn't feel like it. I rather felt like having a relaxed evening, baking some cantucci, watering my veg garden, exercising a lil & watching a fleur bleu movie with a plateau tele made of a risotto au fromage blanc & potiron, with a side salad of rocket from the garden, & a cantucci for dessert. Now with all this food I think I've eaten too much & am now drinking an ayapana herbal tea to digest before going to bed!
Sejour a TDD
I wanted to share some photos of the family' week-end in Trou d'Eau Douce. My uncle J. & his family were here for a short holiday & so we spent a few days with them, enjoying the reunion, the sea & wind for B.'s kitesurf, the nice walks on the beach, the swimming, the reading... & the long meals of course {despite the fact that every meal was taken 3 hours late & was an opportunity for the aunties to argue about trivial subjects!}
There're some more pix & recipes to come soon, till then patience & thanks for reading!

Another week-end to remember
Picnic a la Prairie
I have to say, last week-end was pretty busy... pleins de trucs qui s'enchainent... but enjoyable things altogether.
Meeting new people, having a picnic made of aubergine, roquefort & pecan nuts'tartlets at the beach, enjoying the warm sea, the hamac, the sun, the rain to finish, just the peaceful moment...
Pesto on cheese focaccia
Nicely followed by a friendly cooking session, made of pesto served on focaccia, brochette de pruneaux & cerf, fresh homemade pasta & smoked marlin sauce, and of course a coulant au chocolat noir. All evening was filled with chatting & talking, sharing, laughing, bref just embracing this moment with an authentic contact...
Fresh homemade pasta
PS Please forgive me if I'm more rare here in the coming days... I might be a lil busy having my 2 friends from Suisse at home and enjoying some time together!
