Cottage & Countryside Living
a weekly journal
Bonjour à tous! Our airline tickets are officially booked to France, the kitties final appointment for their pet passport is scheduled, the closing date is set and packing everything is commencing. So with the holidays and the chaos, this will be my last newsletter not only for the year but until we get to France. There are lots of things I need to make sure happen for this move but not to fear I will be back in mid-January to share how things went with the move, how we are settling and what’s to come.
On a happy note, looks like a white Christmas for our last holiday in the cottage. In snowed the other day (way more than expected) and we are expecting another dusting tomorrow as well. It’s just the two of us and the kitties for Christmas which is exactly what I wanted. I’ve set up a bistro table for two on the porch for Christmas dinner and then on Christmas day we plan on pjs, snacks and a movie marathon.
I’m also excited to say that my Spring Retreat in Normandy is almost sold out!!! I only have one double room left- so if you and a friend want to come to the French countryside now is the time to book it! I’d love to have you join us. Click here for more details.
I also wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Holidays, Joyeux Noel. May you all have a happy time, filled with joy, memories, good food and lots of laughs. Be happy. Be merry. And I will see you all in the new year en France.
à bientôt,
Jenna
