Crayfishing

 Recently I visited England to catch up with my family and some friends. Ive not been back much in the eight years that I have been living in France but now that my parents have moved back there I will be visiting a lot more often.

The weather was amazing while I was there, I got a good couple of afternoons lounging in a pub garden with a glass of wine in the sunshine which for me, England is all about.

On one of these days I was seeing a friend of mine and we had seen some people dangling some bacon on a piece of string into the local river. On closer inspection we found out that they were catching crayfish... needless to say, the next day, there we were with a glass in hand dangling our own string over the side of the bank :)

Easter photos

Its been a really busy few weeks here so this years easter wasn't as big a deal as it should have been. we opted to go to my in-laws for lunch.

We started off with an easter egg hunt which Evie really enjoyed even though I don't think she really understood it. Later in the day she kept revisiting the areas where she found some in search of more, hehe. 

Traditionally on the french side of our family we start lunch with salad Pascal and follow that with roasted lamb. 

Mimosa Festival

Where I live in France we have forests full of mimosa trees. Early each spring the whole forest around out house turns yellow. Its an amazing sight to see and is truly beautiful.

Sadly the season is coming to an end and the pollen is all over everything.

Each local village has a day of celebration for this time of year and the local schools create floats and parade them down the high street :)
