Wonderful dinner with my parents inlaw :)

Last saturday, took my parents inlaw for a bit of an outing to the only restaurant that i know of which is at the district called Bouin, not too far away from Beauvoir indeed. The name of the restaurant is L'Ecume Gourmande its at 15, rue du Pays de Monts. its a very traditional restaurant and its speciality is of course..poisson (fish). The deco in the restaurant is a simple one too just yellow and white nothing special, but the food was special and so are my wonderful company that night. This is my second tim eating at this resturant as the first time was last year during papa's 80th birthday celebration at this restaurant. Contrary This is my first time going out on dinner with my parents inlaw, not just because knowing i speak very bad in french and also the fact that hubby is not around to help me translate or things like that. But somehow we did fine and we enjoyed our dinner very much and with plenty much curious eyes on our table coz in this part of france you dont see much of asians at all so its like an adjustment to their eyes or something...hehehe

maman was wearing her fvourite colour red that evening and papa as usual wearing his smile all the time :) btw, papa help take the picture of me and maman, not too bad at all :0)

And....here is our food selection a set dinner :)
All in all it was agreat dinner and we enjoyed the night immensely.


à bientôt!

Im not much of a cat person as i never owned one and i love dogs and im missing my ob-chan at the moment who is all the way back home in KK and i must say i feel a bit guilty coz this cat is slowly creeping into my heart her name is Madame Paquerette. she is the Guicheteau family's darling cat and very nice personality indeed. She's a very nice buddy for i can unerstand now why the family loves her so much she's got a way of making your sad days becomes smiley again :)

these pictures are taken from my hubby's laptop from accross the continent from me while we were doing voice conferrencing through skype and madame Paquerette wants to be just there when we were chating along and she was kissing me, touching my face asking me to caress or tickle or just talk to her and my hubby took snaps of us together.

Passage du Gois - Sunday outing

The end of last month we went for a short outing at the ¨Passage du Gois¨ just for fun with my inlaws and sister inlaws and family it was quite nice as its by the sea and it kinda reminded me of home back in Lok kawi but the only difference is that the tepreture here is cold and sunshine is hard to come by but anyhow, it was a nice walk along the beach with the family

The first bloom during when winter starts to be spring season are the ¨mimoza¨ dont know how to spell it but its yellow and its everywhere around this area during this time and people are selling it for 2 euro each...ermnn a bit expensive for me i think when you can find it everywhere in the ¨hutan¨ hehehe

anyhow here are some pics taken during our walk to the beach there in ¨Passage du Gois¨ island.

This is the main trademark of this island the emergency shelter that you can see all along as you go through passage du gois during low tide because the road to the island is only excessible during low tide and sometimes people get stuck in the middle of the road because of the approaching high tide so they have to take temporary shelter at this shelters.

as you can see, people are everywhere selling mimoza blooms

All in a day :)

Today I woke up with a wonderful bright sunny day anda blue sky and was thinking maybe its a good time to check out the town and eventhough its still winter, somehow today it feels like Spring. Then maman invited me to go to a small pasar in the centre of Beauvoir and we had a good 10 minutes stroll to the town and i can only describe with words as i didnt have time to take pics as i was busy buying stuffs. Lets say maman do all the talking and i just carry stuffs :)
Then maman took me for a short tour of the Eglise or chapelle in Beauvoir.

Built in 1860, you can just imagine how old this chapelle is and its really pretty inside and maman and myself managed to sneak a prayer or two.....peaceful indeed...

L'eglise Romane de Beauvoir Sur Mer

Then later in the afternoon maman was showing me around her garden of what flowers are not dead and what is dead during the winter :)

I like the colours of dead plants with their leaves still attached....its just one of my facination :)

The Greens

The beautiul Camelias and parequets and violets are blooming

After the tour in the garden i had another exploration to do and this take me to Papa and his Jardine of wholesome goodness. The day before i was helping him planted some green peas and today we did the potatoes and radish and some salads. I must say this was my first time doing this and i enjoyed it very much as its my first time. So to all the potatoes, radishes and salads and peas that i help to plant....i hope you guys will bore a lot of food for us to eat during spring time :)

After the long walk i had with maman now, its time to say gooodnight and have a wonderful day to everyone from Beauvoir!

My First Valentine ever .....mon coeur

When my hubby said, ok mon petit coeur,I am going for a trip to the Netherlands for a Helicopter Crash Training Course in Rotterdam and you are coming with me....at that point i was like hearing ding dong church bells...was so, so, so, happy as at least i'll be able to go out a bit and see new things. what i didnt realised is that it happened to be the weekend of valentines day so i have nothing planned as we are supposed to head back to Paris on that friday evening after spending 3 nights in snowy Rotterdam, my hubby suddenly blurted out his plan to bring me to amsterdm for my first valentine day celebration and i was so thrilled an excited about it as i didnt think he would be that romantic....but i guess i under estimated him :) gros bisous pour toi mon coeur :)

Anyhow friday evening we hopped on the domestic train from Rotterdam to Amsterdm and i think it took about 1 and a half hour to reach Amsterdam an finally we got to our Blue Tower Hotel in Bos En Lommerplein about 20 minutes away from the city centre. But although its quite a distant the trnsportation system in mstedam is very good and you can easily go here and there without any much trouble. Since we only have 1 full day to do sightseeing so we tried our best to packed everything in 1 day and some other the next half day.

I was so happy coz during valentines day it was sunny and not cold at all and everything was just nice and romantic including our lunch date at a small malaysian restaurant :) We managed to go to all the museums thats worth going like the Rijksmuseum, The famous Van Gogh Museum and we were fortunate enough to be able to see the grand exhibition of his works entitled "Van Gogh and the colours of the night" for his dedication over his facination with the night and its colours. Very interesting indeed. an cruises and geleries and just wondering about in the city.

It was a glorious vacation cum Valentines day celebration for me and this will always be in my mind and heart as this is my very first Valentine Day spent with my beloved husband so it will be in both our heart and mind forever :)
Je t'aime mon coeur!

Here some of the pictures we managed to snap during our very romantic walks in amsterdam. Hope you guys enjoy the scenery and think of tulips and think of amsterdam :)

Enjoy!
