Today wearing ~ Head scarf

H-ing Up a life vest with a 70 Carré (Jeu de Omnibus et Dames Blanches) tied as a head scarf and my Farandole necklace, ready for a 12 km canoeing trip through the breathtakingly beautiful Gorges de Herault.

Luckily the canoe did not keel over, and I managed to get back home with a dry scarf..

DS and friends playing with baby fish after we had our picnic lunch..

I have to admit that would I not have an adventurous, almost ten year old boy, I probably would have never set a foot near a canoe. But I am glad I did, and it was a happy, fun and exhausting (!) day we all enjoyed very much.

On another note, some computer problems still persist, I had a few emails coming back to me as undelivered. So please don't think I don't answer your lovely emails, dear V.H. (it's been a while, but I loved the fur pics you have sent me), K.O. (I could not reply to you re the LF), T.K. (you were so sweet to write, thank you) and S.L. (thank you for your order)

I'll be away for a couple of days, but will answer comments when back early next week. Have a great weekend everyone!

H-ing Up tree tops ;-)

According to DS, no summer holiday is complete without suspension and thrill, which is why a trip to the climbing park is one of the 'must' summer activities.

So we went a couple of days ago, armed with a picnic basket and suitable 'sportif' clothing, ready to tackle some of the 22 courses installed in the tree tops of tall pine trees. Following the parcours, you move from platform to platform, while navigating around various obstacles made of ropes, steel cables and wood.


Wearing jeans, T-shirt and Converse sneakers, accessorising with my 'Ciels Byzantins' mousseline Gavroche (which also served as a 'comfort blanket', lol) and black clic bracelet.


A canoeing trip is yet to come, I just hope my muscles will have stopped aching until then ;-)
