Chez Regan

Welcome to our little house in France A home from home. It's cosy and welcomes my friends

Oh let me to my wild, wild moors
To taste the winds, to dance with squalls
Oh let me to my wild, wild moors
To spin, to spin, to spin

Oh let me to my wild, wild moors
Where I may roam, unbound by walls
Oh let me to my wild, wild moors
To be so free again

Luckily I was able to spend sometime in beautiful Yorkshire. It's the first time I've been there but definitely won't be the last.

The rolling hills, the vastness of the moors, the fascinating history, the gentle lull of life, the quiet calm and the lovely people we met made it all such an enjoyable time.

And who can resist trips to see some magnificent trains and where Last of the summer wine was filmed! A classic.

There are still so many places to see there, that another trip is definitely something I need to take time out and just breathe

In the old, old hall the old clock stands,
And round and round move the steady hands;
With its tick, tick, tick, both night and day,
While seconds and minutes pass away

The old mantle clock reminds me of my childhood, it's gentle tick tock lulling me into a peaceful doze, the glass of the face just catching the evening sun

And now it's time to take everything down, for this Christmas anyway.

How I shall miss the colour and the lights that brightened up the dark and dreary evenings. I'll miss taking time to look at all the ornaments on the garlands and just giving everything a little tweak, even when I don't need to

I shall miss looking at Eric and Ernie, my two deliciously handsome parrots who made me smile everytime I looked in the garden room. I shall miss the little disco glitter balls on the tree making a beautiful pattern of light on the walls when the sun does actually shine, making the room even brighter.

I love going to our little house in France to rejuvenate and relax, but the downside is that I've missed the decorations here in Wales and no sooner are we back, then we have been taking them down

The house always seems a bit empty afterwards but I have started making more plans to decorate a few rooms. Ah, the colours and delights we shall have!

Ah, the power of flowers to help with a fireplace. It wasn't quite cold enough to light the fire so the flowers helped to direct my gaze as I needed something to help me relax. They may well be artificial but the look is still stunning. Hydrangeas are one of my favourite imposing and impactful flowers. They certainly know how to make a statement

I do love this bedroom, the height of the ceiling makes everything feel gentler somehow. It's an easy room to be in, calm and peaceful. A room to relax into a sleepy haze, to doze, to read, listen to music, dance like no one's watching or just lie back and recharge

Hope we can all stride forwards into 2024 with heads held high and a bounce in our step. Take care all and have an amazing New Year

Hello old lady. The Chateau looking her serene self, standing gently, but proudly in her surroundings

For me, even in the winter with the mist gently touching all it can reach, nature still shows me how beautiful everything can be whatever time of year and that new growth is a glimmer of what's to come and what it can become. Life throws curb balls and obstacles, but taking the time to just see what's around and take it in can help me breathe and somehow make some sense of it all.

And if all else fails, tea and cake always helps

A quick trip to London, mainly for the Textile Fair, but a quick visit to the Harry Potter exhibition is a feast for the eyes 🤣

Time for pizza and gin in the park. The show must go on. At least it's not raining. 'Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind' 🤔 I've seen that quote somewhere. Ah yes, I painted it on the wall in the courtyard in France. Thought it sounded familiar 🤣

I'm missing sitting outside in the courtayrd. The sun shining, the quiet moment to immerse myself in my book and a drink of tea sitting by my side during the day, then sitting under the lights with the magnificent ultra blue sky at night with my glass of wine. Take me back!!

As soon as Laura posted about the Great Gatsby floral weekend we knew that the possibility of returning to Chateau de Bourneau with Laura Erin and JB was too good to miss. We had really enjoyed the Christmas weekend so we were curious to see what Laura's vision was for this decadent and glamorous era.

Driving into the chateau grounds we were excited to be able to spend an entire weekend at such a stunning location. Friday's relaxing evening, meeting other attendees, learning how to make a fabulous headdress in readiness for the next evening's event, wine and chat were the perfect start.

The Saturday, albeit hot, was spent in front of the inspiational chateau and we all got to create something towards Laura's final design. With the gorgeous food and drink provided by Erin and JB we were eager to learn once again some of Laura's hints and tips. Her enthusiasm was infectious and imagination knew no bounds. It culminated into a stunning, vibrant and decadent table filled with sumptuous and lavish decorations and the beautiful orangery looked elegantly dressed for the drinks and canapes. Her vision was incredible and my photos cannot do it justice. The evening meal was spent under the lights and highlighted the gorgeous table, the wine flowed and we didn't want it to end.

Sunday morning was a lovely way to complete such a relaxing time with a gorgeous brunch (I want one of those crepe machines now Erin!) and once again the food was lovely. The chat flowed easily once again and new friendships were made.

For those of you who were there, the last of my photos is Mike's. Definitely not mine!! 😉😅

Thank you Laura for allowing us once again, a glimpse into your world and thank you to Erin and JB for the gorgeous food, drink and being such fantastic and welcoming hosts for the weekend which we didn't want to end!

If you ever get the chance to go on one of Laura's weekends at the chateau then do as you certainly won't be disappointed.

I'm just storing my jacket away with a little pang of sadness. I'm pleased with myself that not only did I actually manage to complete a project but I found a reason to use this beautiful fabric I got from Abakhan Fabrics many moons ago. I just had enough offcuts to make the front of the handbag to match. It was perfect fabric for a Gatsby inspired jacket for the glamerous 'Gatsby at the Chateau de Bourneau' floral weekend with the amazing Laura ,Erin and JB

Another 'hand-make' for the weekend was on the Friday evening. A glorious mix of aperitifs, chat and Laura teaching us the secrets to making a head dress to wear for the Saturday night.

More to follow!
