Middle Earth Airline

Have I told you I love airports?
I especially enjoy visiting our international airport.
I like to sit in the observation room
and watch the arrival and departure of planes.

 

Earlier this month

I took these photos of an Air New Zealand

'Hobbit' Middle Earth aeroplane arriving!

I'll let you into a little secret

visiting the international airport

 is special for me

because it is the point where I start my long journey

when I'm on my way to visit my family in France!

For some weird reason

it makes me feel closer to them.....

just knowing that I can hop on a plane

and 25-30 hours later

I can be hugging my darling granddaughters.

So now the cat's now out of the bag!

I'm joining Mary for Mosaic Monday

and Our World Tuesday

and Blue Monday 

I hope to see you there.

See you all again soon, in the meantime please

take care and be kind to each other 

Merci à bientôt

MAY NOTE CARDS

I love Vee's Note Card Party

and I usually have my post prepared in advance.

I've been working a lot lately therefore the

the usual standards are slipping somewhat!

My organisation has flown out the window

so please forgive me Vee for arriving late to 

your party!

The first two Note Cards are the type of cards I create

from time to time to send to my daughter

and darling granddaughters in France

so they can see what our home and garden

look like at various times of the seasons.

The third Note Card just happened!

I love taking photos of doors, gates and windows
these were from Summer in France 2013.

After I created this collage

the words just came to me!

 Please pop over to Vee's and look at

all the other charming Note Cards!

See you all again soon, in the meantime please

take care and be kind to each other 

Merci à bientôt

Autumn Fruit

Autumn's bounty is generous

and each year I look forward to

savouring the delicious fruit of the Persimmon tree.

Tamarillo's are another fruit

that ripen at this time of year

also known as Tree Tomatoes.

I usually make chutney

which is delicious served with cold meats.
