Why don't you


Why don't you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?

... was a TV programme that I remember from when I was a child. And so I do. Cooking, reading, learning, walking, crafting... are all things I like to do in my free time.

I live in France with my family and I like to share many of my activities with them (they especially like it when I share cakes).

I also have another blog devoted entirely to my passion for crochet and amigurumi. You can see the link to that blog below. I offer you a warm welcome to both of them.

This time of year

I feel a bit guilty saying what I'm about to say, when I read the introduction to this blog. Yes I know, I said that it's better to do something other than watching TV.
BUT... the thing I like best about this time of year is that they show some really good films on the TV. There's lots of rubbish too, but here in France just this past week I've watched E.T. (my all-time favourite), The Secret Garden (in English!), Jane Eyre (cried buckets), and there are more to come. Tonight there's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, on Thursday a beautiful French film The Fox and the Child, and on Friday another French film called Two Brothers, about two baby tigers. That's about it, and then on Monday it's back to work!
I am doing other things too - some sewing, some crochet, some cooking, some ironing, even. And spending some quality time with my family, though mostly indoors because it's still grey and frozen outside. My soon to be 14-year-old son now knows how to make tuna and egg filo rolls, and I've promised him he'll know how to bake croissants before the week's out.
I'll try to get back soon, with some pics of my latest creations. Bye for now!
