After recycling ribbons from Christian Dior gifts, I used 2 oranges to make this transparent garland








 Homemade cushion "Let it snow"

 I moved my rabbit and ... 
 goose from the kitchen and add them a red ribbon for Christmas !!!

Of course not, and I just try to keep the house relax before the big days !


All the best to you all 
Have a lovely Christmas with your love ones ...
Is it correct ? 
Lots of kisses xxx

GARDEN - Last flowers before the snow ...

Hi everybody, 

Just a few photos 
from our small garden 
in London
to say good bye
to the last flowers killed by 
 the cold weather
  



I love the colors


We have no marple in the garden, but we have the leaves from the neigbours.


The white pansies try to survive...





Enjoy your week !

CHRISTMAS TIME - Homemade sausage rolls

Good 
evening, 

With Christmas,  
arriving so quickly, Elliot, 
already on holiday, Christmas party
 planned next Sunday, and leaving for France
 on 18th, I spent my Sunday afternoon, in the kitchen, 
cooking, the famous sausage rolls for next Sunday, but also 
for Christmas. I put them in the freezer and take them out, each time 
we cannot wait to enjoy them with a glass of wine, or as a main for a quick meal. 

I used :

2 Jus'rol Puff sheet pastries (all butter)
4 packets of 10 Frankfurters classics (Herta) 


1 - Roll the sausage inside the pastry
2 - Cut the length with the sausages rolled
3 - Then cut them into small bits



4 - -Brush with butter/milk or egg yolk to give a nice coulour to the pastry




5 - Ready to go in the oven (350 °F)

Even Elliot wanted to make his own


They need to be under-cooked to go in the freezer, just like this because on the day, you will put them back in the oven to finish cooking and eat them warm. 


Leave them on a grill to cool.


Check the rest of the family to be sure, nobody is eating them ...


It is so tempting ...


YES
Simply delicious ! 
Children and Adults, just, 
love them. And you,  what are your 
special
 treats for Christmas ?Do you have any specific 
recipes we could enjoy too ?Have a good evening !

DECO for Sweet dreams ...



Hi everybody,
I, previously, posted about my favourite "cantine" in West London. 

Today, I would like to give you a quick view

 of my favourite Boutique

 in  term of sweet, cosy, warm, HOME accessories. Famous for his quality bed linen, fragrances, 

It's the White Company




I can, easily, imagine myself
 in one of those bedrooms. 
I like 
the blank canvas, 
for me it is peaceful and restful...  
The only thing I need now, 
it is a good book !

No more time on computer now, 
I have to be ready for Christmas,
And you ?
 what are you planning 
for Christmas ? 
Have a nice WE !

COTE RESTAURATION ... à Londres


Bonjour !

Aujourd'hui je voudrais vous parler de ma "cantine"
 quand je passe dans le quartier 
de Kensington (Londres).
Voilà un endroit extrêmement bien situé (sortie de métro) à un carrefour très très fréquenté à 2 pas des Musées (V & A), du National History Museum, Musée des Sciences, du Lycée français, de l'Ambassade de France.
Hors, 
la petite pizzeria qui se tenait ici avant que ce ne soit transformé, était  toujours VIDE, 
sombre, et ennuyeux (boring) .

Et voilà, 
que depuis 1 an, pas plus, 
ce nouvel endroit, transformé, redécoré,  
qui attire une clientèle d'étudiants, 
de touristes "pressés", 
"d'housewives" en quête de "bonnes tables" "healthy" mais variée, 
se retrouvent autour d'une tasse de thé avec multitude de gâteaux au choix, 
ou grimpés sur des tabourets, on peut commander des salades différentes (fenouil et grenades), 
ou (lentilles/fromage de chèvre)... ou on peut préferer des lasagnes maison, un carré de saumon grillé avec des pommes de terres/frites maison, bref !

Il y en a pour tous les goûts. 
Cette semaine, je me suis même vue conseiller 2 charmantes anglaises qui découvraient 
la carte avec ses "mains" et ses "sides". 
A vous aussi, je vous le conseille. 
Le seul bémol, il faut suivre son serveur,
car ils peuvent nous "oublier" ...

Regarder quelques photos pour l'ambiance ..


On peut choisir de visu sa salade ou son plat ici dans les plats bleutés

 Une déco, comme à la maison ...


Ici, Purée de citrouille/patates douce.  Des graines 
et des herbes accompagnent toujours le plat. 


On ne peut pas le rater !
Dites-moi ce que vous en pensez ?

Bonne journée !

HOME atmosphere with Neptune

Hi ! everyone, 

I have been busy by visiting, 
filling forms, 
and choosing the schools 
I would like for my son 
for the next 7 years !

Job nearly done, 
as we need to encourage him, 
support him more than ever 
to fit in the school criteria and to succeed at the 11 + exam.
In February we'll know what's going to happen.
Anyway, 

Today, 
 I would like to show you
 the kind of atmosphere I like ...

All photos from http://www.neptune.com












It is simple furniture,
soft colours,
nice combination of accesories,
the light is beautiful,
the choice of the paint on the walls are well associated with the furniture...
Well done to Neptune !


Hope you like these photos too.
Bon Week-end !
