My Blogs 1st Anniversary

I can't believe it's now one year since I started my blog.

One year ago today, I hardly knew what to do, and didn't really know what I would write about.

It was my son in laws birthday yesterday 

so thought I'd use his cake for my 1st. anniversaire

I now try to remember to have my camera in the car to capture the beautiful countryside. 

I still struggle with some of the technical things, especially linking to other blogs

which is why I never join any of the link invites. 

Maybe I'll get the hang of it one day.

I've learnt how to use my other half's camera, so I now take better pictures since my first post.

But most of all I have lots of friends, who come and visit my blog 

 and like my photos and write nice comments about what I've done.

and I am a follower of lots of bloggers.

 All of this gives me great pleasure.

so
A big THANK YOU
to
ALL of you who have popped by to read my blog
even if you don't leave a comment
I  really appreciate you taking the time
and most important I hope you enjoy reading my little stories
and looking at my photos.

Would you like to join  me on my drive down the lanes to the boulangerie.

After just a few days of sunshine the fields and the sides of the lanes 

are a mass of yellow from the dandelions.

This was what I saw this morning on my way to the boulangerie.

So I hope you'll enjoy these photos I took to share with you.

Our nearest neighbour is this farm house.

This house is used by the hunters as a hunting lodge

during the hunting season

There used to be three horses in this field and the owner built this shelter for them. 

The horses have now gone, but the owner still comes regulary to cut the grass.

I drove to the village where I used to live 

just to see this beautiful Magnolia as I knew it would be in full bloom.

I hope one day my  little twig as seen on my post

My plant order has arrived, so it must be Spring.

will grow to flower as lovely as this one.

à bientôt
