La Chatte Gitane (or The Gypsy Cat) was the name we chose for our cottage in France at the time. We chose it while on the road, moving house the first time round, from Ireland to France with 2 dogs and 7 cats in the car.
This blog began its insignificant life as a recipe book for friends and family who would ask me repeatedly for a recipe of this, that and the other.
Since then it has taken many different directions, like we did and like gypsies tend to do. Sometimes making a U-turn and revisiting familiar roads and taking a break when necessary.
You'll find recipes here, but also musings about the places we've called home, the gardens that we've established, not always successfully, the homes we've improved and the environments we've lived in. Currently, after yet another stint in Ireland, we're back in France @ Le Mas d'Ayen

Wrapped !

Presents wrapped.  Tick.

For niece Sarah (4) and nephew Mathias (8)


For the adults, mum Irma, brother Rijkaard (or Richard in English) and sis-in-law Joelle.


Popped into a suitcase and on their merry way to Belgium. Tick.

      There is this little shop in our village that opened its doors last summer and it is the best thing that happened.

      I had to do it now because of a deadline. Instead of the presents being under our Christmas tree they are now in Belgium under my mother's tree. Bert, my husband took them in his suitcase.

      Thanks Sadie. Would you know, I was pretty bored myself and it took me forever to get on with it.
