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.

Autumn



We are having a lovely Autumn season here. The weather has been perfects for ensuring the leaves have stayed on the trees while changing colour and everywhere is looking lovely. Lots of blue skies too as a bonus . The only downside is a still grumbling Gnu has meant we have not been able to go walking as much as we would like.




Its been a bit windier over the last couple of days so it won't be long now before the branches are bare and the urgent garden job will be leaf clearing.












It was east to think of a theme for today's English class - the children thought leaf rubbings were like magic!
