The old ways #1

This is from March 2026. I was in Warsaw for visit my family and I have some time to went there and snap some images.

W marcu byłam w Warszawie, odwiedzałam rodzinę, i miałam trochę czasu żeby pochodzić po lesie i innych starych miejscach.

Znowu tutaj / Back here

 Ten blog był niby definitywnie zamknięty i jakiś czas miałam drugi, potem nie pisałam na obu. Moja suczka umarła. Ostatni post był o tym, że zachorowała - jakoś sześć lat temu. Teraz mieszkam w innym mieście i mam innego psa. Tamta historia to był taki koszmar że do dzisiaj trudno mi o tym mówić. Wydaliśmy kilka tysięcy na ratowanie jej a weterynarze żle opiekowali się nią po operacji i niestety ja musiałam podjąć decyzję o uśpieniu jej bo strasznie cierpiała.

ENG: I had closed this blog forever and also I am still keeping the second blog. For some time I was not present both on the two sites. My dog passed away. My last post about six years ago was that she was sick. I live in another town now and I have another dog. The story that my dog was sick it is still like a horror to me. I even cannot talk about it. We spent big money for saving her and finally I had  to put her to sleep. She suffered very much and it was no choice because of medical mistakes. She is a victim.

Chciałabym wznowić ten blog jako stronę ze wspomnieniami o niej. Wydaje mi się że ona nie odeszła. Czasem spotykam ją we śnie. Często przyjeżdżam do Warszawy i odwiedzam stare miejsca. Teraz byłam w marcu ale niedługo znowu jadę.

ENG: I would start this blog again as a memory site about my dog. I have the feeling she is still next to me. She is not gone. I meet her in my dreams from time to time. I visit Warsaw often so I am able to go through our old paths. Last time I was in March but I will travel again soon.

Paradise lost and the new blog

 I have very sad news that it turned out my dog is very seriously ill and she will live with me not for a long time. She has a good care and I hope she will live some time but I count it in months. I don't want to talk more about it as my heart is broken and I cried all my tears over her. I still cry everyday but I think she does not understand it all and is not suffering much. I love my furbaby very much. I dont want her to suffer. It has happened all of a sudden! I used to think she is still not that old and in the good health, but no... I am completely devastated so I decided to close this blog. I was posting a lot about our walks, lots of her pictures etc. This is over now.

I love you and I want to be here so I created a new blog. I am no longer here but I want to focus more on myself, I mean my inner space, fashion and art I like.

Please, pray for me and for my dog because we really need it.

Christmas 2020

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It was a very rainy day this Christmas Eve and also very warm, at least for us, as we had 8C today. I went for a longer walk with my dog and I was with no hat on my head because of the warm weather. Unluckily it started to pour heavily while we were at the pond so I returned home completely wet. Now I wait for... Ok, maybe not. We will see! ( I am in general from those who catch infections rarely)

Yesterday I had to go shopping at night and it was unplanned. It was a nice time in the shopping mall, but then I was bothered so much! That is why I did not posted yesterday. I was back home around midnight and then I went walk my dog. Plenty of people in the mall, all the shops were opened and it was really nice. 

More images soon! See my carob cookies? Already eaten. I baked cheesecake too and I added real vanilla beans so the aroma is awesome! I love this scent of warm cake and vanilla! Almost eaten ... Tommorow I will bake goose with apples and we have lot of food I will show you later.

This is one of my favourite Christmas carol! I like it even more than Polish carols. I bought also vegan pate very expensive in organic shop ( it was close to midnight) and vegan yoghurts, but I got also French sausage before in a normal store. Well, ok. The last days have been really tiring believe me. 

Our wintry walk

 Hello guys!This is quite warm on here as you might see, and in the forecast they say we will have a warm Christmas. They predict even over 10C in Poland, maybe not here in Warsaw, but we will see... And then... Winter is coming before The New Year's Eve! ( We expect snow)

We went for a nice walk today . This is all under the preparations for Christmas, so it was lovely to find some free time. We are doing fine in general, but of course it has been tiring us, all of those restrictions etc.

We have a very cosy Christmas this year, only three persons and pets. Cheesecake, carob cookies and borstch, then pierogies and more... I will show you later or maybe Claire - Genevieve will post about it. I hope you are fine. We'll be back before Christmas for the wishes and showing all the food.

My feline story December 2020

 

Well, excuse me guys... In general I want to say hello, but I am napping as you might see, right?

The cinammon rolls are eaten, as you might see... The be frank, I am more grumpy than I was some time ago. I am getting older and more grumpy. 

Mom baked the rolls yesterday and she will show you later. This is very windy day here in Warsaw today. We had 10C yesterday and now is getting colder again. Mom has  new sewing machine. I predict she will sew all winter long 😟😟😟

you can watch also here

I want to share it, because I am pretty sure there is my ancestor. 

Would you like to watch it to the end? This is very short indeed. In the end you will see my ancestor. I am very similar, don't you think? Do you like it? As far as I am concerned it is so fancy! So beautiful! This is from 1906! So long time ago... Mom told me surely I am from France!

Christmas just around the corner! I usually sleep during every holidays. I was told by Mom maybe we will experience snow this year... So maybe I will watch. I cannot promise. Best regards, your Claire - Genevieve from Warsaw. See you next time!

The things I've been loving November 2020

 

Hi guys! Today I want to share my sweet little things I currently love. I am doing fine but of course I feel tired of all this ... you know what ( C 😷😷😷).  The pets have become  nasty and grumpy, as you might see above. (Claire- Genevieve is planning to publish her own story in a short time). So let's talk my things. Firstly, I bought an eco baking moulds in Rossmann. Unfortunately, it has happened some time ago and I realised for now that I did throw out the packaging. That means I cannot tell you the brand. Anyhow, it is available in Rossmann and I paid around 6 zł for the  set of a few moulds. I don't remember proof , but I think they sell three moulds in a set. I am not sure. It looks like paper but it is not. This is made from coconut. You can use it only one time. 

I baked this yeasty buns/ brioches with sugary top, it was delicious! I must start publish my food posts again. I wanted smaller bun than in the recipe and I baked mini version of it. I do it often with recipes. 

And the next thing that brings me joy is my hand cream from Ziaja. I am not a huge fan of Ziaja, I mean I am buying  from time to time. I bought this cream in the grocery store in the neighbourhood, because it was the only one hand cream available in the shop. So I had no choice. Then it turned out that this scent is turning me back  to the years I had my old dog Misiek and it was a very nice and unexpected feeling.  Kozie Mleko is Goat's Milk, you know it.

Look how beautiful roses I had! Well, I still have them... They're standing very long, longer than a week. The scent is also awesome. Even Claire -Genevieve showed some respect to this beauty and she did not eat it nor destroy ( certainly too high for her ). I have been watching the Eurovision Contest for kids tonight and maybe I will post about it in a few day.

For the end you see my small jar of honey. This is Polish wooden honey from Masuria, I paid around 15 zł for it in Carrefour. My favourite honey is wooden and also heather honey. I use to buy buckwheat honey too, so rather those darker ones. 15 zł is around 3 Euro for 250 g. 

Do you see this hair?(😑😑😑) This is my dog's hair... < no, no we don't see any hair in your honey >

( It was your part to tell, guys)

See you soon!

This is selfie and she sees herself 💗💗💗
