English version below the pictures
Sur le chemin de la vie je vous souhaite que cette année 2022 soit une bonne étape en passant par tous les chemins , traversant avec succès les brouillards et travaillant avec énergie pour atteindre vos objectifs .
J’aimerais aussi que vousne soyez pas touchés par ce Covid qui rôde et que votre santé triomphe de ces terribles maladies qui persistent encore pour l’humanité?
Quel que soit le chemin, étroit ou large, boueux ou facile je vous souhaite un bon voyage pour cette année qui commence



On the way of life I wish for you this year 2022 be a good stage going on through all paths ,crossing successfully fogs and working with energy to get your goals .
I wish too you were not reached by this lurking around Covid and your health triumphs of those dreadful illness that still persist for the mankind.
Whatever the way, narrow or wide , muddy or easy I wish you a good trip for this year that starts

Up date January 5: The same as above but UNDER THE SUN in a FOREST.
This gives another emotion : sun, blue sky light, beauty and joy. This photo has been taken today by Carole , my oldest daughter ( the duchess) .
Sun and light give us a kind of appeasement and encouragement.
what a delightful way of saying it Michel, and great photos too … now stop horsing about and have a drink with me 🙂
A glass of Champagne of course , Kate ! Cheers! ❤
of course, I thought that was all the French drank Michel 🙂
Yes, Kate, in France we drink Champagne to celebrate ! :
sounds like an intoxicating tradition Michel 🙂
The bubbles of champagne lift the mind . Didn’t you know it , Kate ? 🙂
No idea Michel, I’ve never liked the stuff myself 🙂 We aussies like vegemite 🙂
I googled about vegemite . I understand , Kate,why you are a vegemite , You want to chase the drop bears !! 🙂 🙂
lol you pick up on our silly ways very quickly Michel … we have to look out for those cheeky drop bears!
We never are too careful, Kate, indeed. 🙂
May your ride through 2022 be peaceful and healthy. Love always, Votre amie, Francoise
Thanks ,Françoise .Peace and health are indeed great gifts. ❤
Michel Io ti ringrazio molto dei tuoi cari auguri così bene espressi e auguro a te la stessa serenità la tranquillità che c protegga i nostri affetti integri.
Buon anno amico caro grazie anche per le bellissime fotografie del cavallo animale che io amo molto.

Bonne et heureuse année à vous deux ….que l on puisse poursuivre le chemin ensemble encore et encore …je vous embrasse bien fort Carole
Merci Carole pour ces mots gentils set appropriés.
Merci de tes voeux si precieux Michel, bien que “travailler avec énergie” ne soit plus dans nos vocabulaires! 😅 On pursuit tout doucement dans la vieillesse, heureux de survivre encore un brin en voyant nos petits enfants grandir.
Je vous souhaite tout le bien possible pour cette nouvelle année, en tranquillité et dans la meilleure santé possible. 🐞🐞🐞
