Holiday is over
We're back from our holiday in France and we had a great time. Sometimes, it was quite cold, especially in the morning.
That probably had something to do with being up in the Alps at about 1000 m (3280 feet) above sea level. Luckily, I finished my raglan sweater right there, so I've had many chance to wear it. I'll show you some pictures later.
From a spot not too far from our campsite, we had a lovely view of the Mont Blanc.
There were lots of woodland strawberries growing all around.
I don't remember ever seeing so many of them before. Lotte (and we too) loved eating them, they are so very full of flavour, especially considering they're such a small fruit.
Later, we traveled to places much hotter and drier but which were also great to be in. Sadly, the amount of butterflies flying around was dramatically lower than what we're used to. Not sure why. Apart from that, we had a great holiday. Now it's back to work...

Thanks for sharing your holiday experiences. Those strawberries sound delicious. Pity about the butterflies. Lotte looks gorgeous in her colourful outfits.

Welcome home! The photo of Mont Blanc is so beautiful. I think the Alps are the most scenic mountains in the world.

Sounds like a wonderful holiday. I really enjoy your blog... Can you tell me anything about the pattern for Lotte's red sweater with the tasseled hood? It's adorable - -as is she. I've been wanting to make something like that for a friend's baby, but haven't found a pattern.

Oh wow. What a beautiful place! I love the photo of your daughter sitting on the tree stump. She looks like she came straight from an old storybook.

Great pictures! Sounds like a wonderful holiday. We have a type of wild strawberry here, too. The taste is out-of-this-world good. I absolutely love the picture of Lotte with all her knits on. Beautiful baby!!
