LadyBohemia — holiday in Provence RSS


~* Polliwogs! *~

Back from holidays. Can't remember when I've last been this wiped out. Walked straight to bed from the front door, slept for 24 hours straight. Now slowly waking up to myself. Chose hunting for polliwogs (is that even a real word??) over antique markets, getting lost in the forest with my Robin Hoods over blogging. Have truly deserved the full score Wonderful Mama points I've granted myself over this vacation. Kids are so happy. Easter egg hunts, village children's celebration, fun new sports, farm visits, forest trips... They sure were in full swing, non-stop. Mamie and I are also happy. But like so: [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="554" caption="Photo Unjung Jun"][/caption] ~*♥*~


~* Sunny Provence, here we come! *~

My two sons and I are off for an adventure that is a holiday in the South of France. Without any plans, schedules or engagements. We intend to just... be. In the sun.

This may be the first time in history that my bags are packed before the taxi is waiting outside... And this time, even all our passports are still valid... Strange and very new for me. But in a nice way. Soooo... I'm peacefully preparing myself, letting go of all the stress and rush even before heading for the airport. Mmmmm... Sweet.

These French antique market finds are my all-time favorites. "][/caption] Wish us Bon voyage dear friends! I'll keep you posted on all the adventure that comes our way... ~*♥*~

*~ a Peter Mayle summer ~*

So it's been confirmed. Me and the kids will spend the full summer in Provence. I'll keep you posted on life over there, real Peter Mayle fashion. Here's a little purchase I've made for this trip, especially. Something light, comfy, slightly transparent but not toooo much so... MmmmmmmmMmm. By the lovely Oona Elena ♥♥♥. Perfect for a summer in the sun. And my lovely ladies Noora and Hanski might come and spend some time with us. Poolside lounging, bronzing and total relaxation is in the cards with Noora... We've already planned to have a real girlie holiday, going to the gym, sleeping in the same bed in our room upstairs and talking girl stuff all night.... Hanski, I'll take all around the area by Mamie's little white car, as it'll be her first time in the South. Touring and discovering little picturesque villages, lovely restaurants and the nicest places outside the tourist circles... The kids will be totally relaxed as usual there, and play in Mamie's pool all day long... There's also pony rides and tennis lessons in the cards this time. Ah, it'll be so good. ~*♥*~
