Sunflowers, a quaint church and some kir

So after roaming around and having lunch in IKEA we were kinda tired, but the day was still young and since the sun sets around 9 pm only, we decided to head to the sunflower fields on the outskirts of Geneva.

It was beautiful, stunning to say the least... Fields of sunshine everywhere you look.

This lone tree near the sunshine fields...

Took lots of pictures in and around the fields. A man on horseback was roaming around making sure no one desecrates these fields of gold.

We then went to eat ice cream at a nice place, Gelatomania..

Ice creams were amazing.... we then went home and rested.

The next day, Tuesday, we didn't do anything much in the morning. I made some nice spinach and vegetable rice, with carrot/cucumber salad, mom fried king fish. In the evening we went to the church in Choulex, half an hour drive, but turns out there was no mass since July is the holiday season.

Just took a few pictures... (Church 3)

The holy family...

Some artistic wall...

The church is very pretty, with exposed stone wall throughout... and sunlight dancing through openings here and there.

The back of the church...

The pretty grotto...

The towering church...

Then walked a bit to reach a cafe...

Pretty views on the way...

Cute horses on the way...

Pretty entrance....

Picturesque..

Walked to Cafe Des Amis...

I had Kir, a common French cocktail made with white wine and blackcurrant liqueur. Then walked back to the church and drove back home. It was a splendid evening, exploring a quaint little village.

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

Amethyst in Chennai - A Review

After Sarangi , we stopped by Amethyst another boutique store at Whites Road (quite close to Express Avenue Mall), Royapettah. This is a cool posh place hidden from the bustling din of the main road, and the entry way itself seems to transport you to another time and place far away from the cacophony of a busy city life. Once you step into this land overflowing with (wild) shrubbery, you'll find a flower shop, a jewellery cum clothing store and a colonial styled coffee hangout place. The entrance... with shrubs on either side. A giant urn among the shrubbery. A little fountain in the garden... The jewellery and clothing boutique is located upstairs and even though the whole arrangement looks nice and inviting, I couldn't really find anything worth buying here. An art piece at the store... The clothes seemed drab and messily complicated, like some new age fashion for the artsy / socialite types. It's not something your normal next door perso...

Raining on a Sunday.....

Last Sunday was beautiful, it was pouring the entire day and we couldn't go out anywhere, though we did go to church, and came back soaking wet. We (Tonio, his cousins and me) decided to spend the evening baking a cake. This is the nut cake and the strawberry cake we baked. I was actually surprised the nut cake came out well, cause I made it without a recipe. I had to give it away to people though, cause Tonio doesn't like nuts and I didn't want to eat the whole thing and put on weight. I can't wait to go back home and start baking again for Christmas. P.S: The baking utensils I am using here were given to me by Judith Aunty for my wedding and I love them. On an unrelated note, I read this in the paper today. "Dhoni has reassured us that he is no Samson and that locks or no locks he can still plunder runs". He does look even more dashing with his new haircut.... doesn't he?
