France : Last Day, Goobye Childhood..

iii

On the last day of my trip to France, i went to a place that means so much to me, that it took me 20 years to come back there : my childhood house.

The new owner of the house, is still the one who bought the house to my parents ! and 20 years later, he still remembered my name !!!! He told his wife "guess who's this tall lady ?? she's the little girl who was living there before !" and his wife answerd right away : "oh ! are you Alice ??" i couldn't belive it. She remembered my brother's name as well !

They seemed very confused and moved by my visit. The man made me visit the inside, every room. How nice. I remembered everything.

It's weird to think that it took me 20 years to come back, and that i will never come back again. It seems like i am closing chapters, one ofter the other, these times. 

My neighbour, Copé

Copé is my neighbour. She's one of my inspirations.
She's like an older version of me. She even wished to participate to A Home for Alice, and wrote the most perfect text for it :D

For my birthday, she offered me the best present, she gave me her nacre bracelet that she wears all the time.
It's a prefect 25th birthday present. It's priceless to me.

She built a house that she drew herself, at the bottom of my garden.
There is no fence, i can walk from my house to hers freely.

She wanted vernished tiles like she saw in Norway




Inside, it's just one big room for the kitchen, livingroom and office..

I didn't want to intrude, but there would be 1000 things to show, every little corner is a treasure for the eyes :D

And of course her garden is beautiful as well !!

France : Day 11, Emilie and Yann's house

Today i went to visit the house that my friend Emilie and her boyfriend Yann just bought :)

Jesus protects their house ;)

And truely, that's a good thing cause they seem to have the WEIRDEST neighbour !!
As we were visiting, we saw him hanging around the house for a while, with the oddest look, and then he asked them really slowly :
-"Are you...... the new neighbors.......? hmm... it's a big garden.... yes... big garden...." with the "I like children a bit too much" kind of vibe... CREE-PY !!!
Emilie was so scared she said to Yann : -"You won't let me home alone, will you ?!! What if he shows up one day to ask me some flour or eggs, and kills me ?!!"
Welcome home sweethearts !! ;D

After we went for coffee in the little town

France : Day 7, Ombeline and Mickaël's house

Today i went to see the house that Ombeline and Mickaël just bought.

they have a scarecrow :)

Sunny Walk / Serious Talk

The sun is back in Copenhagen, and the light is so strong ! 

(the sun rises at 3:40 AM and sets at 10:50 PM !)

so we went for a walk with Monika, in the private houses areas of Frederiksberg. It was really nice :) So many huge houses..

We got to realise this was one of the last walks together, as Monika is going back home at the end of June, and then i am moving to Stockholm at the end of July...

We talked about our expectations for the future, our choices and decisions that had to confront surprises of life..

We talked about how strange it was to be friends, me coming from France, her coming from Poland, meeting here in Denmark, her going home and me to Sweden...

And as she would say "you never know what's going to happen" so let's hope for the best !

What will i become without my sweet rabbit ?

We went for coffee, and she encouraged me to go to the counter to change my tea, cause it has the weirdest taste; you really had to to think "dead rat" before drinking it.. it may sound easy to do, but i have some social issues... i am the kind that pays and shut up. but this time i went there and i even asked for my money back !! it felt nice not to be the sucker for once..

Some More Homes (for Alice :)

Today i went to Amager, and took some more picture of houses.
I crossed people leaving their house, coming back home, or just having a walk in the area, and they all looked at me, (me and my two cameras) very weirdly, as if i was intruding their privacy, but common, it's not like i was taking pictures of their house or something ! eeh wait.. yes it's it ;)













i am always scared to receive one day,a message of someone saying "hey !! this is my house on this picture, you stalker freak !!"
