She baked a wonderful ratatouille and my brother in law just make cook a beef ... Yes, an entire.
We were 4 :)
Her garden is a real south garden : plants don't need too much water. They can live by themselves, no need to water them.
Jamie, look ! My sister drinks Pastis ! :D
Rosé for me, thank you ... :)
My sister helping my daughter to make a scoobidoo. My daughter is almost as tall as us now ... What impertinent children !
Yes, we've got enormous mosquitos, here ! ... :D
Hello, mister gecko ! Don't come too close to me ...
Dear Axelle-What a beautiful garden. Outside spaces are enjoyable for relaxing with family. That looks like a bowl of "Bugles" nest to the rock on the table. Another one of my favorites. Bugles and Pastis. I'm in heaven! I thought Scooby Doo was just a cartoon but I see a scoobidoo is also a bracelet? Is that what they were making? Such beautiful purpley flowers on the plant growing around the window by the table. What a gorgeous plant. Thank you for sharing this with us. Regards-Jamie
ReplyDeleteDear Jamie, I was sure you would like this ambient ;)
DeleteI used the word : scoobidoo with hesitation because i wasn't sure it would be the same in france and in anglo saxons countries. It's made with 4 plastics and colored "FIL" (i'm sorry, i don't know the english word and I can't find the transalation where I am, but I'm sure you can :).
And children use to "TRESSE" it.
Dear Axelle-Interesting. I looked up 'scoobidoo'. And found it spelled accurately as 'scoubidou'. Not 'Scooby Doo' as I had originally thought. And then I just found out that 'tresse' means 'braid' in french, of course the verb form. Where tress in english is a long lock of hair. Of course the word origin is obvious: you can't tresse a short head of hair but you can tresse a tress. The origin of words is very interesting. 'Fil' of course is ' thread' or 'string' which of course for a scoubidou must be plastic. Naturally, our word 'filament' comes from 'fil'. Remember in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" when the father is always explaining how different words are traced back to greek origins? Even the word 'kimono'. Ha Ha It was funny. And the windex thing?
DeleteMay you still be enjoying your holiday. Regards-Jamie
Quel chouette jardin et que de bons moments vous semblez tous passer ensemble :) Profite bien, veinarde!
ReplyDeleteOn est loin d'avoir une famille ideale. Elle est recomposee presqu'a l'infini et parfois pleine de tensions. De mon cote, les origines sont pied noir et italienne, ce qui peut parfois etre lourd... Mais nous avons les defauts de nos qualites et les qualites de nos defauts. Et je continue a dire a mes enfants que la seule chose sur laquelle on puisse reellement compter, meme s'ils peuvent ne pas en avoir conscience maintenant, c'est la famille. :)
DeleteMoi aussi mes origines sont pied noir (mon père) et italienne (ma mère) :)
Deleteall these look beautiful the food and the place!!
