C'est parti pour une nouvelle semaine...

Je n'ai pas sorti une aiguille ou un fil du weekend !
Il y avait un qualificatif aux Championnats de France au tir à l'arc, et le weekend a été assez chargé et fatiguant...
Donc pas de broderie !
Mais un très bon weekend quand même, malgré la neige et les conditions de circulations difficiles !


A new week is beginning
February already !!
I didn't stitch anything this week end, I had an Archery week end =D
A post with nothing to tell about stitching then , but to learn a little bit more about me, I'm playing archery (I have been playing for more than 15 years now !) and my club (I'm the secretary =D) was organising a championship !
We started on Saturday afternoon, and ended yesterday around 8 PM
2 'heavy' days but wonderful days =D


Il a encore neigé , mais pas autant qu'on s'y attendait !
Il fait bien froid mais c'est l'hiver après tout =D
Cette semaine je continue Winnie, au chaud ....
A bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures !


Here is a picture of our garden yesterday morning before I went to my archery club !
It snowed but not as much as we were expecting !
Our garden is not furnished yet as our house was only finished in April last year :-/
There were rabbits' footprints all around the house, funny :)

I finish with this picture....


it's a slag...
I leave in the North of France where there used to be many many coal mines (my Grand father was a minor...)
And everything which was extracting from the mines and was not coal, was put aside, in heaps.
We have lot's of these heaps around here, some are even protected by UNESCO 
They usually are black ! but here with the snow it's as if we are in the mountains =D
it's part of my history and I wanted to share =D

Have a nice week my sweet friends from all over the world
I'm going to continue Winnie !
Big hugs
Valérie

  2. ♥♥
    I totally agree :)
    that's very great to meet people thanks to our blogs , we learn and share so much !
    My garden is about 800m2....
    It's not all what you can see on the picture, if you look closer you'll see 2 pegs, 1 in front of the trees and one in front of the house behind..
    Our garden stops there...but it's anyway a big garden
    we are not used ! we hadn't garden before...
    I can't wait spring comes to start furnishing it =D
    big hugs

  4. Hi there! Love the snowy pics. Thank you for telling us some of your history - we have a couple of things in common
    I was born in a coal mining town in Australia & while my dad wasn't a miner he worked for the company as a mechanic. I now work for an iron ore mining company & have done so on & off for most of my working life. And guess what I used to do archery but I wasn't very good at it!
    Have a great week!
    Hugs from the snow globe ;0)

    1. I'm in the snow globe =D
      Indeed we have things in common !!!
      Coal or iron ore it's about the same...they were digging deep !
      There was a style of life at that time that I loved and which doesn't exist anymore :(
      I have been brought up by my grand mother in miners' terraced houses and have lot's of so good souvenirs....♥
      Regarding archery, I was good =D
      I stopped 6 years ago due to health problems and have been too lazy to start again ......
      But I still belong to the club, I'm the best secretary they ever had =D
      I love the atmosphere of this kind of Championship !
      And I love the people of my club, we are a family, especially because most of them are 'old' people (we even have someone being 82 years old !!) and I'm very respectful of our elders =D
      That's me =D
      Have a nice week too , you and the snow globe ;D
      lol
      Big hugs
