Aici sèn pla

This blog started as a daily record to mark our fifth year at Segala. Daily it did not turn out to be but after the year I have decided to continue as an occasional diary - after all I do still like it here or "aici sen pla".


Its our fifth year living at Segala. I have decided to try to mark this year with a daily post ( some days it will be just a photo) of our life over the year. I have trawled my brain for witty titles without success then I remembered the slogan on the T shirts at the fête in Espinas in the summer.


A friend translated it from the occitan for us. It seems to mean something along the lines of I like it here. Very apt for us, "I like it here " is a refrain we use to each other at least daily so that's the plan - Aici sén pla - a year of daily musings from a contented retired expat who thinks herself damned lucky every single day.

C'est quercy rouergue



C'est quercy rouergue


Our house is in Tarn et Garonne, the other side of the road is Lot, we shop mostly in Aveyron and many of our friends are in Tarn -a few weeks ago I opened a group facebook page as an experiment to see if anyone is interested in a page especially for us who "live on the edge" where Tarn et Garonne meets Lot meets Aveyron meets Tarn - a page for those us who are always crossing boundaries - sharing news, events and things for sale ·


Why bother? There is already a page called "The Tarn et Garonners" but its members are mostly in the larger western part of Tarn et Garonne and there seemed to be a gap here. It is also,I admit , another attempt to find ways of spreading the word about Folk'n'jazz. Folk'n'jazz does have its own facebook page but as yet not many people know about it. Its not just folk'n'jazz that could benefit though, there are lots of events going on in the area , its hard to keep up with them all and its always good to get some free publicity

It is definitely NOT a blog (they exist elsewhere), it will only work if lots of people use it and contribute. A couple of  people have posted things already. I have no intention of acting as editor except to remove spammers. So I am watching this space as they say - so far there is one member who I don't know personally but its a start and it is early days
