Christmas market
On the occasion of the Christmas market, Loedi and other artists offer you nice gifts to put under the tree to please (or please yourself)!
Don’t hesitate to drop by!
To the Bastille !!!
Prepare to board !
Today Loedi is a pirate! Ready to set sail for the greatest treasures of this world and to face all the storms that will dare to rise before her and her faithful sailor Choco.
But where can Loedi be?
In the port of the Arsenal, of course! With a view of the Bastille straight ahead!
Loedi and the coco’s birds
Do you know the coco’s birds? No ? Have you never seen one in the sky of Paris ?
What a pity… they are so incredible!
Let me explain how Loedi does it. If you follow these tips…. maybe you will see them one day!
First, you should know that coco’s birds hate cold and bad weather. In Paris… this limits the opportunities, but don’t despair: the best time of the year is in July and August, during those two to three weeks of heat wave, when we dream of a cocktail on a beach surrounded by coconut trees… and we have nothing else but our dear Haussmann buildings.
Secondly, to optimise your chances, you should know that coco’s birds are great gourmets: they love fruit of all colours, preferably ripe. They can eat a lot in no time! If you want to have the chance to see them up close, do like Loedi and bait them with a huge basket of fruit!
Third and last important point, coco’s birds have only one leg and two very large wings. They are therefore not very agile and cannot land anywhere without damaging their delicate wings. To make them want to land next to you, add some long and stable poles near the fruit basket to give them an ideal perch. Like Loedi, you can also opt for real coconut trunks, but this is a little more difficult to set up.
Now that you know everything… think of climbing on the roofs of Paris next summer and discovering the coco’s birds!
Recipe for a little haven of life:
Recipe for a little haven of life:
A few mixed seeds.
A little soil.
A little water.
A lot of love.
Put it all together and let it sit and wait…. wait… wait…
Nature takes care of the rest:
Sprouted seeds.
The first leaves of the seedlings.
Growth that is almost visible at a glance.
The buds soon give way to the first flowers.
While the petals have faded, the first fruits appear.
Observe, smell, touch, marvel !
When the fruits are ripe, pick, crunch and enjoy !
In the land of the cedars
Many will tell you that this is a small country but it is not.
If only they had taken the measure of it by the rhythm of their footsteps… they would not have said the same thing to you.
Welcome to Lebanon!
Come, I’ll take you walking with Loedi and P’tit Jo in the heart of the mountains!
We will follow the purple and white markings of the Lebanese Mountain Trail (L.M.T.), the first long distance hiking trail in Lebanon.
Why the purple colour? Because the purple of Tyr (a coastal city in the south of Lebanon) is a purplish red dye made from molluscs, which the invention is attributed to the Phoenicians.
With the tent in the backpack and the drawing board under the arm, we will walk for eight days, from the Horsh Ehden natural reserve to the village of Baskinta. From north to south, in the heart of the Christian mountains.
Are you ready? Let’s go…
Swinging in the storm
Keep smiling through the turmoil,
Keep adding colour to your life when it gets dark,
Ignore the fear and hold on to the light,
The storm will pass… it’ll be fine, don’t worry!
Sea… sun… holidays !
The sea… the sun… and a so welcome break in this beautiful place !
But where can Loedi be ?
