Wandering and Wondering.

Although I'm enjoying where I am living, I'm feeling a bit lost at the moment.
It's not my house & its not my garden, I can see new green shoots popping up
from the ground, not frozen like it would be where we used to live.
 I'm wondering if all my plants & shrubs will survive the cold
frosty winter they are experiencing,

The day we left after 26 happy years .

We are still in France but have moved to a totally different landscape and a milder climate.
Now we have the benefit of both countryside and the coast.

The past few weeks we have woken to cold frosty mornings, 

but I hear from the local people it is unusual.

I wander around our little private courtyard looking for signs of new life.
This week I saw the first daffodil bobbing its yellow head towards the sun.

much earlier than my previous abode.

This is where we've been able to sit on some of the mild sunny mornings for our coffee.

Hopefully we will eventually find a house that 

we will be be able to settle into and be able to say, 

'Chez Nous'  our home.

I know it's been a long time that I've been away from the world of blogging.

but I have been reading all my favourite blogs and hope some of my faithful friends 

will still be there. If not maybe I will find some new followers who will enjoy

seeing the photos I share and enjoy reading about my life in France.

Enjoy your weekend where ever you are

and most of all, enjoy life.

Next time you'll be able to see inside our lovely cottage here in the Charente Maritime.

à bientôt
