Home Village in France

Home Village in France
    A different culture.

    A different climate.

    A different country.

    I am now in my home village in France,

    Busy picking apples,

    Playing with Ortie the cat,

    And taking walks to meet the cows.

    Tomorrow, I will bake an apple tart.

  9. Bea,
    Oh my heart shaking to look at your panoramic photograph! Beautiful … very beautiful….
    I always tell my husband that I want to spend my old day in France, somewhere in the village of France. I hope my dream will come true!

  10. Home is where the heart is, and what a heart-warming place that looks to be.

  16. These photos have brought the travel bug back to me… oh to be in France again, rather than at work!

  19. What a beautiful place! I love the photo of the cows and the apple and ladder photo is really outstanding. Guess where I’d rather be now? Do you need any help with the apple tart…..?!

  20. J’y suis aussi… en France, cad. Quel bonheur de retrouver la famille, les amis, la cuisine de mémé (ahAH… j’ai même repris l’habitude de mettre des accents sur mes “e”)

    Passe de bonnes vacances Bea!

  21. how i wish i was there with you bea… lovely countryside!

  22. I love it. Like someone said above. I’m jealous too! Seems like the apple tart is a natural progression from playing with cats and going to meet the cows and I so enjoyed that last sentence: “tomorrow I will make an apple tart.” You can’t believe how much I wish I could taste it right there where you are. It won’t taste the same elsewhere.

  23. So very beautiful! Thank you for sharing the photos of your home. I can’t wait to see the apple tart! (Ortie is one beautiful kitty and those cows definitely look like ones you would want to meet!)

  24. Ce “chez toi” ressemble étrangement au Québec… Serait-ce la Normandie?

    Comment by Miss Diane — On September, 12th, 2008 at 9:29 am

  25. Superbes photos, Béa ! Un beau contraste de couleurs. Profite-bien de ton séjour en France. J’attends avec impatience que tu nous racontes votre expérience en Grèce :-)

    Comment by Ely — On September, 12th, 2008 at 9:32 am

  26. Ca ressemble au village de mes grands parents! Tu nous tente avec tes surprises (wink,wink!). Tes parents doivent se regaler de t’avoir pendant quelque temps!

  27. OH… It’s lovely.

    Comment by EB — On September, 12th, 2008 at 12:04 pm

  28. Wonderful pictures! Which part of France?

    Comment by Sini — On September, 12th, 2008 at 12:38 pm

  29. Hi hi everyone,

    Thanks for your comments! It’s really great to be back home at this time of year — even if it’s been raining on and off! A change from Crete! The region is Lorraine, and the district is Moselle — eastern part of France. Lots of forests, fields, lakes and cows here ;-)

  30. I love the cat. He remembered me of my beloved cat Kymi….

  31. Nice photos Béa. Isn’t it wonderful that autumn is right around the corner? I made apple strudels today.

    Comment by Sara — On September, 12th, 2008 at 8:52 pm

  34. I envy you!! What a love place and home to come home too!! Isn’t that what most of us want? A place to get away from all the hecticness, craziness and fast pace of our everyday lives!! What bliss.. going back to nature, the countryside, the country life, the simplicity.. Enjoy your days there!!

    Comment by Angela KL — On September, 12th, 2008 at 9:36 pm

  35. I love all the beautiful pictures you take, they’re so inspiring. I’d like to put a link to your blog from mine if you don’t mind. Thanks!

  36. Bea, your home village is so tranquil… and I’ll imagine your apple tart going to be very lovely as well!

  39. I love your photos !

  40. Wow. Those are some amazing photos. I especially like the black cat. There’s something really engaging about the way the cat is looking at the camera.

    I noticed that you’re an expat, so I thought I might mention jaxtr.com, which offers low international calling rates. I hope that’s helpful info, and thank you for posting those beautiful photos.
