Days of rest and beauty

Now let's go see how my tulips are doing. Oh wow! Look at them! I cannot wait to see what this looks like when they're all blooming. See that one's coming and that one too. I'll keep you posted on this. This past week I went to Normandy to film a home tour and this time Olaf was able to come with me which was wonderful. So we decided to take our builder's van. We simply put a mattress in and turn it into a camper van but not a real one. Anyway it allows us to explore and spend some time in nature together and we really like these moments. So this is the home that I filmed for a next home tour video. I'm sure you're going to love it but like I said it will be for a next video. The second home that I was going to film during this trip had to cancel last minute and so this gave us two days where we were able to just spend some time together go on hikes and just do nothing and relax. And we basically just randomly drove anywhere between Normandy where we were filming back to Burgundy and we would just see where life would bring us. After a night with lots of wind that woke us up a couple of times we woke up to a very gray sky. It basically rained almost all day that day and so we decided to drive a little further back home so we could drive while it was raining because it's supposed to get a little better tomorrow. We ended up in the western part of Burgundy in another wine region which I haven't really explored yet. It is around the Loire river Sans Serre Pouilly-sur-Loire and we found a pretty beautiful park up and when the sky is finally cleared a bit we were able to do a nice little village walk. I'm very happy with that. So the next morning the skies had cleared and I saw that Google Maps was sending us past a village near where my friend Manon lives and she has recommended a bakery there that I really wanted to try. And also this little village has a wonderful ressourcerie where I usually find really beautiful brocante items. So we decided to take a stop there on our way home. This ressourcerie has always been one of my favorites but the past two or three times that I went here I haven't really found anything. I wasn't really looking for anything. I don't really need anything fortunately but I always need more vases. One broke the other day and I always love having fresh flowers around the house and for our guests and in the garden. And I was lucky to find a really beautiful one. We were heading back home and we need to pass the natural park Le Mont Vent which is really close to our home. We're on the other side of the natural park and here you can see us approaching the hills. They are always so beautifully lush and green. It is really a breath of fresh air. And we want to stop at the highest peak in these mountains or hills. And it is the Haut Foulon where we've been before and we can do really beautiful hikes up there. This was just such a lovely little trip for us. We really enjoyed it and I got to film a really beautiful home. Like I said I will share that in the next video. I'm sure you're going to love it. So be on the lookout for that video. For now thanks so much for watching and I'll see you next week. Have a lovely weekend everyone.
