A Grandmother’s Attic

You know that scene in Amélie when she finds a box full of a boy’s treasures from decades in the past? That’s how I felt stepping into this attic.

And to finish off an afternoon of exploration, crêpes made by a real Breton grandmother. The best I’ve ever tasted.

      Thank you! I’m glad you liked the post. It’s very rare in this modern world to be able to feel like you’ve stepped into the past, and I wanted to capture that and share it. :)
