I’ve come to realize that the sheer number of photos from my trip to France has caused me to set them aside to deal with them later.  I have been avoiding them, I’m an avoider, it’s what I do… I avoid. I decided to just take them a bit at a time and post some as I go. That also …

I am off on holiday!  We are going to the south of France to visit my husband’s family and will be taking off on our own to spend five days camping in the Pyrenees! This is where we will be camping.  Pretty awesome, right? See you all in two weeks!

At the end of our trip to France last summer, we decided to spend a few days exploring somewhere on our way home.  We knew we wanted to go see someplace nice, and we weren’t sure if we’d find anywhere that quite compared to our trip to the Gorge du Tarn two years before.  I loved that area, especially Castelbouc!  …

While we were in the south of France in the summer we got together with Xander’s brother in Montpellier to see his new house and visit the Mare Nostrum Aquarium.

One morning during our holiday I got out my camera and went for a walk around the property to take some photos. While up in the orchard I noticed some wasps buzzing around one of the trees. Man, do those wasps love them some cherries!

After a few days hanging out at Xander’s dad and Jenny’s place we decided that we should get out and do at least a little exploring.  Usually when we are going somewhere I will scour the internet to find places I want to visit but this trip was mostly about spending time with family so I didn’t make any other …

As you can see, I’m back posting on my blog again.  I’ve been back from France for a little over a week and am just settling back in and getting used to life here in Rotterdam again. Our holiday was fantastic and I will soon be bombarding you with photos of some of the things I’ve seen as well as …

That’s right, I’m out of here like yesterday’s news!  Off like a whore’s drawers!  Like a prom dress at midnight! For the next 10 days I will be here… No trams, metros, scooters, rushing, doorbells ringing, car horns honking, children screaming, people smelling or sirens wailing.  Just peace, tranquility, chilling, chatting, swimming, dog photographing and perhaps tree chopping. We are …

That’s how long until the first day of Autumn.  It sounds like a long time but it’s not really, and we’ve not even had a summer yet (we didn’t last year either).   I want to go back to France, where it was warm and dry.   Barring my horrid sunburn, I loved it there… and I only got the burn because …

Before we left for the South of France a colleague loaned me a book titled 501 Must-Visit Destinations. One of the things that jumped out at me was Chateau de Castelbouc in the Gorge du Tarn. This is what lead us to stay there for the last few days of our holiday. It didn’t disappoint!! The tiny village is built …

Things have been a little ‘bleh’ here lately, I’m sick with yet ANOTHER cold (yeah, my third since October, wtf?!) and am stressed out and frazzled about a multitude of things. Thankfully I have like, the best husband in the world, so I know it’ll all be ok. So instead of getting into all of that, I’m going to post …
