It's been something of a wild summer on our part this one, travel, work and visits made it a rich entertaining and quickly passing summer holiday.
We haven't been as much to the house as we would have wished, but we can't be everywhere at the same time ;) We had a tremendous three weeks back in another one of the many places we can call home, the Faroe Islands.
But that does not mean that the house has been left alone. It was partly rented out and also Stefan and Marije spent two weeks there, painting much to our pleasure. The house is so fresh and bright now. We always loved it, but now it's even better. And Marijes enthousiasm is so inspiring and left me with many plans for things to do in the months, and years to come :)
Last weekend we had 3 days of Champagne, Saturday spent painting a bit with Marije, then groceries shopping and barbecue'ing on the hot summer evening, the kids had a good time. Madeleine found a new best friend in Malou, she doesn't mind that she's twice her age and neither does Malou.
As far as the garden is concerned, we missed a lot of the fruit this year, but apparently it hasn't been such a good year for fruit and vegetables, I picked and froze 2 kg of rhubarbs, they will survive any summer:). The champagne from this years grapes, however, is supposed to be exceptional, so we better preorder our Millesime for 2014 :
