la saison des amitiés sincères (III)
on a cloudy, not-too-hot february afternoon,
after countless emails, letters & movies watched together,
vix and i finally met face to face.
we had a lovely afternoon planned,
with french coffees and vintage books.
but, since the places we wanted to visit were closed,
we decided to improvise and strolled around
chatting & taking lots of pictures.

secret gardens (II)
“and the secret garden bloomed and bloomed
and every morning revealed new miracles.”

a few lost photographs
of small city gardens
that i took last summer

l'expédition végétale
a few weeks ago, on a cloudy, rainy day
m. and i went to see the aeroflorale ii
the aeroflorale is inspired by da vinci's drawings,
but to me it felt as we had just walked right into ghibli's rapyuta
screened at the great exhibition
while a yann tiersen song was playing
i would have stayed there forever and ever
so fascinating and magical!

summer days (IV)
january, 2014.
on a sunny saturday morning,
when the temperatures reached 44ºc,
we packed our bags and escaped to a pool.
we ate poached eggs in white wine & avocados,
grapes and cheese, pork rillettes and honeydew melon;
we played in the water and cooled down beneath the trees.
even in the hotter of days,
there is something so refreshing
about walking barefoot on the grass.
(i'm a bit swamped with work and therefore a bit gone, i'll be fully back in about a week or two!)

a day in january
on a rainy day, while pixel was taking a nap,
i made spinach rice gratin* & chocolate ice cream.
with chocolate chips!
and without an ice cream machine
hope you have a lovely monday
♥
* i love all of heidi sawnson's recipes, but this gratin has to be the one i made the most
it's so incredibly tasty and so perfect for lunch, i can't resist.
