After reading Megan's harvest post on The Fresh Exchange ( check out her awesome blog! ), I was curious to see if there was anything left in my own vegetable garden… The 3 baby carrots I found were smaller than the size of my pinkie! My sister dug up some more impressive carrots. Are you Read article…

Snowy Chantilly
The Chateau of Chantilly seems to be the favorite spot of many fellow Isariens. All the people I've met for Styloise mentioned it. Chantilly is actually Versailles' lesser known little brother and is at only 10 minutes from our home. We come here often for a walk around the famous racecourse or through the primal Read article…
Twelve and a half
No exchange of gifts or "something special" planned for today, but nevertheless we're celebrating our 12 1/2th marriage anniversary! In most countries that's no big deal, but in Holland & Denmark it is. For us it's simply a good excuse for an extra kiss ;o) One of the pretty gifts my husband gave me in Read article…
Some Oise news!
A while ago I was invited to meet Framboise, the mascot of my region in France: the Oise. She knew my blog and wondered if I would like to share some of my adventures on the blog Paroles d'Isariens Bavards, "blog of talkative people from the Oise". And to become an ambassador of the Oise.

Furry friends from Burgundy
Just a few pictures of the furry animals I "met" last week in Burgundy! Two very friendly and fluffy donkeys with the softest ears ever: Most Charolais cows were very shy and ran away as soon as I approached them ( which my husband thought was very hilarious ). These young ones were curious at Read article…
Vintage Sapique 17
[[movie vimeo,56777486,424,755]] My second favorite room in our home, and the place that I missed most when we were in Burgundy over the holidays, is our cosy white bedroom. I'm a "talented" sleeper and can easily sleep 12 hours straight. Preferably in a comfortable bed! (and not in a tiny bed with stiff bed sheets Read article…
Les anis de Flavigny
Today let me take you to the village where the movie "Chocolat" was filmed. You know that movie with Johnny Depp & Juliette Binoche that you can't watch without craving something sweet? When you walk along the streets of this (very pretty!) medieval village you smell something sweet. It's the anise & sugar used for Read article…
Bzzz Bzzz from Burgundy
If there would be one profession I would ever "consider", it would be beekeeper. Being surrounded by the zooming "bzzz" of my bees and eating honey, Royal Jelly & pollen every day sounds bliss. I would have to work hard, because from what I know, it's quite a lot of work to be a good Read article…
