Last week I managed to get away again for a little break at Chateau Hawkins, some very kind family members took over the shop to give me and Theo the chance to spend some time with everyone all together.
We had a lovely week and much of the time me and Mandy were out gallivanting in Molly, her new but old Citroen 3CV, chasing the trees of the scenic meandering roads. The little beuaty can't go very fast but it simply is a must have for out there, who want's to go speeding when you can enjoy the ride and have a few giggles along the way.
With 3 "vid greniers" and a trip to the local fripperies we managed to pick up some quirky bargains, a trip to one of them saw us trying to squeeze a beautiful cabinet that Mandy is going to work her magic on into the back of Molly, it was so funny listening to the two gentlemen bickering about which way was best, this food shopping trip turned into an adventure and we found ourselves travelling along alot slower but it was realxing all the same.
A couple of gloomy days found us curling up with the dogs and watching a few films and a lot of gorgous meals and delicious desserts found us bloated and guilty but we were happy, we were lucky this time to actually see the sun, May brought us snow!!
A lovely bonfire built by Theo was a slow starter but was lovely to watch along with the lightning in the sky, why is the sky always much nicer out there than here I ask.
The week was amazing and I'm so lucky to have such lovely family.
I am loving hearing about your adventures!! xx
