Première entrée pour 2009
Happy New Year, flist. Hope you had a nice NYE. Mine was spent in Normandie with the usual suspects - parental unit, teh esu, godfather, aunt, cousins. We left on Wednesday morning and I abandoned them all there today as I had to be back in Choisy.
I didn't get snow but we had some lovely cold weather - warmest tempeature being 0°C - and the landscape was gorgeous.
I know some people are used to seeing snow covering the sand but I'm not, so seeing ice was quite extraordinary already :-)
As I said, no snow, but I still had some white :-) Actually, it might have been -4° when we got there which, fine, it's winter, it's supposed to be cold outside - I was beaming myself, if you want to know, I'm such a winter child! Even though I was born in May, that's not the point - only problem is, it was winter inside the house as well.
Temperature inside when we got in? 1°C. We kept gazillion layers in order not to turn into popsicles before the house got warm. Everyone was worried about Little Bit being cold but I think Chiara was the one who was the most comfortable among us.
We had a lovely NYE, good food, wonderful company, many hours spent playing boarding games. At midnight we added some more layers and went to the beach as BIL wanted to play with fireworks. Twas awesome.
On Thursday, we strolled along the - deserted - beach in the morning and went to Cabourg in the afternoon, where we ate at a gorgeous little coffee house. Rémi was like 'it's not a Starbucks, Alex, will you survive'? Which, fyi, yes I did!
I just love the houses in Normandie; it's one of my favourite styles.
All in all, I had a fantastic couple of days away from Choisy ♥ ♥
And now I'm back home. My friendspage tells me that, should I want to catch up with it, I'd have to reach skip=350 which, uh, is a bit scary so I think I'm just going to give up before I try. I'm too lazy right now, anyway.
