  • Bonjour,
    In this video I hope to bring across the calm and quiet vibe of how we spend our winter days here in the countryside of Burgundy, France.

    The cabin, the fire, the crusty bread, the walk in the village, the chocolate chip cookies, the brewed coffee, the terrace afternoon swing... you better believe this vid. did it for me!

    An enchanting journey across the magical landscapes of Burgundy seen through the eyes of a connoisseur of unspoilt beauty. Truly captivating and mesmerizing. Joining you on your walks across the French countryside stopping at scenic places feels like being there in person enjoying the fresh air, the wind and rain. Eventually longing to be snug by the fire having a white coffee. You do know how to capture a moment in time and to edit it in such a captivating way that the viewer feels drawn into the scenery. 🥇😍

    A daily walk in the french countryside and then a delicious coffee by the fire! Perfection! I was wondering if you dont need screens for insects in the windows of your homes. We sure do here in Canada, but I remember Opa and Oma in Holland didn't have any either. I guess insects aren't an issue there. The tiny cabin is very inviting! Hopefully one day. 😃👋

    • @FrenchCountryLife
      @FrenchCountryLife  Год назад +1

      Hi Glenda, we DO need screens! We had them in The Netherlands and we have them here in our bedroom. The window at the end of the bed in the cabin (behind the chairs on the porch) is completely screened. We don't have as many bugs as in some places I've been to but we sure do have them and with a screened window you can leave the windows open all night and day. But it's more of a Dutch thing. It doesn't seem to be something many of my French friends do and in many French airbnbs I've been to there aren't any screens...

    • @FrenchCountryLife
      @FrenchCountryLife  Год назад +1

      A very basic one. Just 150g butter, 160g sugar (I use coconut sugar), 230g flour (I use wholemeal spelt), 1/2 tsp baking soda, pinch of salt, 2 tsp vanilla, 1 egg, 50g toasted hazelnuts, 200g chocolate chips. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before making scoops and I baked them for about 20 minutes at 170/180 Celsius. My husband can't eat wheat and we try to find better alternatives for normal sugar. These aren't healthy but for my family they're a better option :)
      The recipe will be in my cookbook that's coming out later this year.

      Thanks for sharing that! Yes I know those! You need quite a bit to ship safely. I only use wrapping materials that I get from items I order for myself. I had this green bubble plastic left over from when I prepared my plants for winter. But everything else is reused from what I get sent myself. Such a shame to be throwing everything away and then having to buy something new for when I ship.
