Hello, welcome to my garden and home, les Coquelicots,(the Poppies); my name is Annick, a women of 84 years old, with a good health, but, I have been teaching horseback riding over 25 years . . . as result a lot of pain in my spine.
I lived in Montreal in the early 70. Since I came back in France, I ran a bed and breakfast at my house for 20 years and I enjoyed to speak with my guests In between.
I travelled around in Far East, States and Mexico. I speak French, English, Spanish. My house is, now a little too big for me with the garden. And I need your help.
I made a "phyto-treatment" with plants, for all the waters we use in the house. And . . . it works perfectly since 10 years. A lot of animals are attracted by the water, birds, frogs, dragonflies, etc... and mosquitos . . . in summer.
My garden is wild, to attract a lot of small animals and biodiversity.
I wish you help me with small renovations on my house, and a LOT in the GARDEN who have 20 be-centennial olive trees, a small vegetable garden and a chicken coop with few hens and a beautiful rooster : Balthazar, a small dog Ganesha and two cats.
We used to have a different schedule for the winter and summer season. In winter we usually have breakfast around 9am, a tea around 5pm, and dinner is around 8pm. In summer we work early in the garden as it is quite hot, and late evening. We take breakfast around 9am, a good nap until 5pm, always a little tea after, and the dinner around 9pm. But this schedule is flexible, it depend on the weather or the season.
I like people to be open minded, since i've travelled a lot, I very enjoy to discuss with my workawayers and get to know them.
My grandson, Bastien 32 years old, lives in my house but he is very busy with his job. Having a quite large house and the large garden I feel helpeless to do all the works needed for both places.
