A certain quintessential lifestyle

Posted by: fracas on September 26 @ 10:34 am

Everyone have dreams and my dream is living on the country side, not too far from Paris in a chateau. Yes you heard it right. Not a farm or country house but a chateau. Luckily there are chateaus for sale, that are not too expensive, but in need of a lot of renovation so there [...]

A little hobby

Posted by: fracas on July 19 @ 10:59 am

I long for a new renovation project. A grand old house with all the periodic features waiting to be restored to its former glory. It’s an expensive hobby and not one I can afford to exercise on a regular basis. But every so often a new opportunity arises and I hope such will come very [...]

I can hear his quiet breathing next to me, mixed with the creaking sounds of our French doors and the faint noise of an airplane engine miles away. So soft, so peaceful [...]

The postman always rings twice

Posted by: fracas on January 3 @ 4:45 pm

I woke up this morning way to early. It should be considered a carnal sin for the postman to ring on the door before 9. Just as we decided to continue our beauty sleep the second parcel delivery was at the door. Cute! The whole house was awake and in particular one very annoyed husband. [...]

Personal upgrade

Posted by: fracas on December 22 @ 12:27 am

There is no such feeling as when you have worked like a dog and you can finally enjoy the fruits of your labour. I’ve been cleaning since early this morning and at 10 pm I dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s. Fortunately I had Caroline to help me  and she did a marvellous job. [...]
