Toulon: a photo essay
WHEW! Guess what I just figured out? In my advancing age, it now takes me two whole nights to recover from one night out. No longer can I shake my bonbon on the dance floor until 5AM, sleep for three hours, and wake-up feeling normal with a spring in my step. Nope, I can’t, those…

in case you were wondering…
… what else has been going on during this long holiday season (mine officially ended yesterday after returning from a night in Toulon and I’m so very sad to see it go). {buy me} ++ The 2013 Dieux du Stade rugby calendar is out and I’m a little disappointed that one didn’t find it’s way…

Anatomy of a Christmas Tree
Now that you’ve seen Papa’s Crèche (but I have to confess, and as shocking as it may sound since you saw both a hunter and a fisherman hanging out in that thing, that you didn’t get to see all of it), lets take a closer look at mon petit sapin de Noël. See how that Joyeux Noël hanging…

{shetlands, shelties, some other stuff, and a free book}
{my little pony} ++ When I was a little girl I had a Shetland pony named Rainy Day. Rainy Day was my best friend and there isn’t a single day that goes by that I don’t think about him, so you can only imagine the level of excitement I felt when we were driving through…

it happened again
{Stade Mayol} “So RCT have a home game on Thursday…” That was the text I got from Mrs. London talking about All Saints Day (the 1st of November). All Saints day is a holiday here in France, and what better way to spend a day off than by watching Mr. London do his thing (RCT is Toulon…

un petit pause
Today I’m taking a break from tales of my staycation to regale you with tidbits of recent life here in The LPV. Enjoy. {CSI: Barbie} ++ Do you have any idea how creepy it is to find a Barbie that looks like it barely survived a zombie apocalypse right outside your front door? It’s effing…

French Wine, French Rugby, French Frogs
source ++ Gatz came for dinner on Friday. If there’s one thing I like about Gatz, it’s this; before he comes over, he always asks what I’m cooking and then pops into le bar au vin, and has The Sommelier pick out the wine. This time he brought a South African Chenin Blanc for l’apéro, and…

while we should have been packing
{source} Hi kids, remember me? Here I am, typing away at Papa’s house because the internet won’t be setup at the new chez moi for another week. That’s right, I’m already at my new house in the new Le Petit Village, and while I’m knee deep in unpacking, I thought I’d take a breath and…

sometimes, they get up to no good
{source} Another weekend, and another trip to Toulon. I’m talking about last weekend, not this one. Friday afternoon, The Husband and I headed down south, picked up my cousin, Mrs. London, and went to dinner. Whenever I’m in this part of France, the Côte d’Azur, on a port, surrounded by palm trees and looking out…
