Honey I'm Home

The time has come for my gallivanting to end. I am now firmly stuck in Great Britain and more specifically London for the foreseeable future. After a year or so of living abroad I'm not sure how I feel about this, but it does mean that I will have more time and more importantly all the materials necessary to get back to my pretty green ways with gusto.

Below you can see photos of my final trip this year to France. We stayed in a tiny chalet in a remote location up the Alps which has been in my boyfriend's family since it was used by farmers to take their sheep out for pastor in the summer.

we climbed up one of those mountains in the distance.

the mountain I climbed up against my better judgement


The chalet had no running water, electricity or heating. The rest of France was enjoying 30 degree heat, we were in bed with 3 feather duvets in a room with no glass in the windows. Freezing, but exciting to feel like I was going back in time!
To keep ourselves occupied we cooked, played cards, walked up mountains and I decorated an old wooden chest used to store firewood.

I went for an eggshell blue wash and some decoupage.

look at that old stove!
