sixteen & sweet

A few hours before she was born, we heard Stevie Wonder on the radio...

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love
Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed

Today we celebrate Pippa's sixteenth birthday!
She's lovely and she's our sweet bright angel!

sweet summer lunch

Before I had to go to work yesterday, my sweetheart surprised me with a delicious summer lunch. Even the lunch-size moroccan serving tray, was brought out for the occasion.

Since our camping holiday, we try to eat in the garden as often as possible.
It was delightful and incredibly sweet!

sunday morning breakfast

sunshine & stool

The vintage bamboo 'sunshine' mirror we found some weeks ago at the 'vide-grenier' in Labenne Ocean. A lovely summer holiday souvenir and what could be more appropriate?

The wood & wool 'sunshine' stool I've made recently for Catherine's birthday.
She lives Down Under and the stool a surprise gift from her daughter.

coffee & coconut cookies

A good way to start the weekend!

pamplona

This year we celebrated my birthday in Pamplona.
It has become a tradition, to celebrate my birthday in a beautiful foreign city.
During siesta we had lunch on the Plaza del Castillo, including paella and Spanish omelette. We had some drinks in Hemingway's favorite café Iruña.
Pamplona, jueves 1 de agosto de 2013; it was a memorable day!
