Le printemps est arrivé

After an exceptionally cold and wet winter, spring has finally arrived! Today's blue sky and mild temperatures put a smile on everyone's face, and at midday people headed to cafés and restaurants, to enjoy their lunch in the wonderful and warm sunshine.

This little street's advanced state of leaves and blossoms almost gave the impression of summer

Wearing La Femme aux semelles de vent in the basic bias fold. It was still chilly this morning, and I set off with a grey fox collar, but as the temperatures reached a glorious 20 degrees, the scarf went 'au nature'

blossoming apricot trees, the promise of summer to come!


Wishing everyone a wonderful and happy Spring! x

    I'm so envious of your nice and sunny weather in the south of France. What a treat to be able to sit outside and have lunch already in March! But, dear MaiTai, you so deserve that :-) Wishing you a nice beginning of spring.

    Many thanks for your sweet comments, Faux Fuchsia, JA_UK, Scarf Addict, venez, booksnchocolate, hair-mess, DD, Butterfly and pamella. Having been out all day, it was so nice to come back home and read your lovely messages. xx

    Faux Fuchsia, blossoms set my mood to spring more than anything else, I think they are divine too! :-)

    JA_UK dear, sending some sunshine your way! :-)

    More snow, Scarf Addict! This winter is truly unbelievable. Keep warm and cosy, and have a lovely weekend too. x

    venez, not wearing jeans in the pic, but a pair of light and slim cotton trousers.

    booksnchocolate, sorry to hear that the LFASDV escaped you, H hugs to you. Fingers crossed you'll find it one day soon!

    hair-mess, glad you enjoyed the pics.. just trying to swing you into the mood, tehehe.. ;-)

    Wishing you a wonderful week too, dearest DD <3

    Butterfly, a long al fresco dining season is indeed one of the best things about living in the South. Coming from a colder climate myself, I cherish it very, very much!

    ITA pamella, spring is such an uplifting change of season! Have a wonderful one yourself, and also a warm welcome to you as a new reader <3
