Find Your Version Of A Happy Pill And TAKE IT!

The sun is powerful friend to have because she always sheds light on situations (pun very much intended). Friday I had what the French would call "péter un câble" I went crazy, solitude is a bitch!! alors Lyon again was calling my name. We went to Lyon and took in all that was there for me that simply means Cafe-ing it just relaxing listening to the latest crazes the locals are following. That alone was my version of popping a 'happy pill' & It worked!!

Sunday was a day for romance and profiting with the sun, Dams Solly and I went to a beautiful lake with a picnic in tow later I've learned that's his version of a 'happy pill' such tranquillity but also a day away took any depressing thoughts I had & let them go. I do believe in change of the norms and to not become introverted, guarding loneliness inside we all feel it sometimes and others more, is a real demise and nobody needs to feel that way so find your 'joie de vie' and take it for all its worth be it in a noisy cafe or by a quiet lake.

The Day I Discoved Lyon... Again

The sun has finally arrived in my little town and Mr phone tells me the weather will improve day by day :)
Last weekend I spent a very overcast day in Lyon and I must say it was fantastic !!!
We arrived and found a place to
park on the quay between a Bentley & Mercedes very bourgeois,
At Part Dieu we decided to travel with our lunch and went to the beautiful Woko restaurant, the food was rapidly at our table and my reluctant to try new things partner loved his dish.  www.woko.fr/ 


After being very well nourished we had a browse around the adjoining shopping centre Confluence ( confluence.fr ) this place amazed my little mind France is known for its boutiques and very individual buildings but rather this shopping centre takes France into the 21 siecle . Apple, H&M , Hugo Boss, Fnac all under one roof as well as too many others to name. Now I like good quality but also good value and both of which you'll find in this gem in Lyons business district big cities in France often incur big prices but,not putting down my local Vienne I would get a big bang for my buck Confluence compared to other places.

As somebody who likes a little bobo( Bourgeois-Bohemian) in my life we ventured across the pont to the very expensive district just to be there, as you do and to marvel at the shops like Cartier, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Kenzo very easy on the eye but not on the budget!
 
We finished the day by strolling along the quays back to our car where a beautiful barge style restaurant was welcoming customers aboard. Lyon has quite a few nice modern surprising gem which one can find each and every time you visit the city.

У нас снег сегодня And We Have Snow

We have snow today and it's really coming down heavy. My town has always had scenic views but today it's far too beautiful to describe. My last post I was a little down in the dumps but it's amazing how a little iced water can cheer one up :)
I'm cooking the most delicious wholesome meal for my cheri and I and listening to festive music what a great day. Also this weekend is the fete des lumieres I advise you to check it out online plus I added some photos it's a most wonderful event that originates here in the region.


У нас снег сегодня, и это на самом деле падение тяжелой. Мой город всегда был живописным видом, но сегодня это слишком красивая, чтобы описать. Мой последний пост, я был немного вниз в свалках, но это удивительно, как мало воды со льдом могут поднять чей-то духе :)

Я готовлю самый вкусный полезную пищу для моих Чери, я и слушать праздничная музыка, что великий день.
