Hello everyone,
I haven’t been very active on the blog sphere recently so here‘s
a quick update of what’s been happening:
I went home early July and I could celebrate my mum’s
birthday, which I haven’t had the opportunity to do for years. The weather was
great and I spent quality time with my sister as well.
I visited the new exhibition at the CNCS (National Centre of
Costumes) . This season was the costumes
designed by Christian Lacroix for La Source ballet. The collection was of
course magnificent, I leave you with pictures and explanations in English:
I visited the Mantin House in my home town of Moulins. This
huge house was closed for 100 years at the owner’s request. He didn’t have
children so he gave his house to the town, which is a fantastic heritage
present! Even the BBC, the National Geographic and the Daily Mail have talked
about it in 2011!
For me this house represented mystery as it’s always been
closed through my whole childhood. I never actually realised I would get the
opportunity to actually see inside. It was a great pleasure and I will visit it
again in the future.
We watched the Olympic Games every night and even though I
am not the sporty type, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s such a positive event
where people give their best of themselves constantly. It was beautiful to
watch all those winners on the podium.
My sister came to visit early
August so we went to Brighton and spent a day in London during the games. It
was very busy of course but we always felt safe wherever we went. My boyfriend cooked them an English breakfast
and they absolutely loved it!
I will be back soon with more
updates.
