Gift Ideas for children For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of Christmas gift giving is buying games and toys for my three grandsons. I have already started. The parcel containing my Paw Patrol items for my three-year-old grandson arrived yesterday. During my internet research, the toys and clothes above caught my eye. From the top left corner 6 in 1 game set. I bought this set for my two older grandsons last year and we have many enjoyable hours…
Who says we can’t wear leather jackets as we get older. I love my navy oversize biker jacket. I bought it from MeandEm a couple of years ago to replace my AgnesB 1985 version.

Where to visit in the Var region of France I thought that I would take you on a mini-tour of the villages in the Var. We are so lucky to be able to spend time in this beautiful region of France. October is a perfect month to explore some of the very pretty villages in the region. I thought I would start with Collobrières which is the capital of Les Maures in the Var. It is tucked away in a valley surrounded by…
