Greetings from Bures-France. Today, december 22nd 2025, we are almost at the end of the year. It is time to summarize what I achieved as “an artist” :-)!

I finished a few projects related to stained glass, both lead and Tiffany. Here are photos:

I have been pretty slow, so I did not do much….

I have been more successful with modeling, mainly because I can work in my usual class, but also now in a workshop in my former lab! Here are some photos:

This year again we travelled to several places in France, but also in Italy and, guess what, in Toronto-Canada !

For me, the year is finishing up with a “ophthalmic shingles”, which showed up a week ago! My fantastic graft doctor came to my rescue : She prescribed me first a high dose of antivirus followed by a long terme treatment, year long! Next december I will get a shingle vaccine injection…

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !

With Love

Another week-end spent to explore France: this time the Loire Valley and around. This part of France is famous for the numerous and beautiful castles, but also the churches and the abbeys.

We started our tour by a visit to the Castle “du Lude”, somehow less famous that other castles around. Weather was very cold but sunny, so we had the chance to take a walk in the gardens!

After a short stop to a winery making sparkling wins, we spent the night in a “cave house” hotel near Louresse-Rochemenier. This area is famous for its cave houses. Some of them are now hotels or restaurants: great experience!

On sunday, we went to Saumur. It was raining hard so we did not have the chance to visit the city, just the castle…

Before going home we stopped by the Fontevraud Abbey: a must see place, where we spent a night a few years ago. So beautiful, even with the inclement weather!

I hope you will enjoy the photos?

With love, to the people at Saint Antoine Hospital,and in particular my stem cells doctor, my donor, and my family and friends.
