WEEKEND REVIEW October 16

On Saturday I absolutely had to prepare my paintings for the exhibition next Saturday. I needed some material to hang them up and also a spray to fix them because this time I used pastel.



Our guest room had initially been my painting studio, but as I don't paint anymore at home, it has definitively become a guest room. But sometimes I still have to use it like here to prepare my paintings for the exhibition.



Last week I had bought these very warm trousers in fleece but I hadn't seen that there was a top going with it.  And while I was looking for my painting stuff, I found it incidently in another town in the same shop !  The pullover is so cute with the hanging ears over the eyes. Now I am equipped for watching TV on cold winter evenings !



Although I always have a lap warmer

On Sunday was a celebration of St. Hubert, the Saint for animals. It took place in the beautiful ruins of The Abby of Villers la Ville.


Unfortunately I hadn't read the program properly so when we arrived the ceremony when all animals are blessed were over ! Nicole was disappointed, she wanted to have blessed Charlie !



The horses were apparently replaced by bikers, who made Charlie bark like crazy, because he hates them, and we had quite some difficulties to hold him back !



Opposite the ruins there was a café and people sat there having a drink. I think I have never seen so many dog breeds at once, but I liked the Dalmatians most.

The rest of the afternoon we spent on Nicole's terrace, it was so warm in the sun 23° just like a summer day !

  1. I always enjoy our local church service when the animals are blessed, always makes for an interesting service.

  2. Oooh I love that pullover! It's so cute! But your lap warmer is the best, of course :-)

  5. I like the pullover, but not as well as I like your lapwarmer! Nice to have a return to good weather at least for awhile.

  6. The lapwarmer is definitely my favourite although the clothes look very comfy too. Shame you missed the blessing ceremony. A cousin of mine had dalmatians for many years - they had the mother and then two of her pups. Sadly they have since died and now she has a rescue dog that is a crossbreed. Good luck with the exhibition.
