How I love a long weekend.
Just one extra day tacked on somehow makes a huge difference.
Permission to lay in bed a little longer,
to take more time over family meals,
to laugh and talk together.
For us this extra day was taken up with a huge family reunion in deepest normandy.
Everyone helped with the meal, I took along some desserts.
Hugs, kisses "I can't believe how you've grown!...."
"Tell me again ... where are you studying..."
"How lovely you look today" .....
"How lovely you look today" .....
The same pleasures that people have been sharing all over the world.
I hope that you have relaxed this weekend
and laughed a little too!

Somehow, it makes me feel humble to see that people are having simlar interets and habits no matter where they live, what they do... Or is it just a way of perpective?
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter - a great way to spend time off, with family and friends eating and enjoying everyones company.
ReplyDeleteSigh, I love your blog. Your images remind me of lovely summers in Normandy. I'm so far away in Brooklyn now...
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I'm coveting those red-striped dishtowels. Easter was indeed relaxing for me - for some reason, I didn't have to play my harp at an Easter service or brunch anywhere! So I spent the day with my family, dressed in comfy clothes, eating good food, laughing hysterically while trying to find the Easter basket my mother had hidden for me!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I want to know what dessert you took - it looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely, Sharon. I'm glad that you enjoyed your Easter break.
I recently found your blog and have been following along as my partner and I have just bought into the 'pastoral myth'. It is a small 1864 (very old by Canadian standards) Stonehouse on 3 acres surrounded by hundreds of acres of rolling countryside just outside of Toronto. Finding you (and some other big city converts) helps me to believe this dream can be a reality. Many thanks for the inspired thoughts and photos. Wish us luck.
