"In this sequestered nook how sweet,"
To sit upon my orchard seat
And birds and flowers once more to greet."
... William Wordsworth
Here it is Sunday morning again and it's been another busy week.
Summer time activities with the family while they were on their cottage vacations at the lake.
Fun times at the beach with the little ones playing in the water, building sandcastles with moats and running water and even volcanoes.
Some of the grandchildren are so confident in the water while others were finding their comfort zone and by the end of the week Sawyer was also not so afraid to venture into the lake and was playing "jump" in the waves maybe they were just ripples... summer memories!
This morning I am baking a cake using a new recipe by Paola Westbeek, known as the Queen of French Cuisine for Gateau aux pêches (French Peach Cake), it's in the oven now and the aroma is wafting throughout the house... I'll let you know later how it tastes...
The cake...it was delicious!
Today I found a nook in our home and spent sometime blogging.
As I was looking through our "Postcard Photos" I found these of different places to sit and relax.
Take your pick which nook you would like to sit in?
Each one will provide a different view and experience.
The stone bench by the babbling brook in Catus
Bench outside a shop in Esplette
A "Bench" with a view of the Atlantic Ocean (Bidart, France) on this day it was Monsieur Honey's pick.
The view from the Table d'Orientation high above Gourdon...
A bleacher seat at Chateau des Milandes...where you might watch the Bird of Prey show and long views over the valley.
An inviting table and chairs outside the jewelry shop in Daglan.
Lakeside seating at the Plan d'eau Dégagnac ...
ready for a picnic of baguettes, cheese, fresh fruit and a bottle of wine!
Or maybe the stone bench in the Gambetta Square, Cahors on a hot day watching the children playing in the fountain.
This storekeeper in Monpazier knows what he's doing ... okay Monsieur Honey you can sit here and people watch while I check out the neat things in this shop.
Maybe some quiet time under the arbor in the medieval garden in Salviac.
Or lounging by the pool at Domaine Gaury...
A table for two on a quiet side street in Sarlat
The park bench overlooking the boules court in Dégagnac
Relaxing bench in the vineyards ... Chateau Monbazillac
Let's sit here awhile...
Man and his best friend keeping watch in the village of L'Herm.
Maybe a beach chair with a view over the beach and ocean in Biarritz.
Hope you all had a good weekend and found your own little nook!
