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.

last walk of 2014



One of the reasons we chose this area of France to live is that it is great walking country. We always thought we would spend a lot of time in our walking boots but for assorted reasons, the gnu, the garden but most of all our generally busy weeks we do seem to have a problem fitting it in.

So with a break in activities for the holidays and a lull in festivities coinciding with a couple of beautiful frosty sunny winter days we have grabbed at the chance to get out - the supermarket can wait 'til tomorrow!
Looks like a lunch stop[
Welcome view getting back to the car!




We stayed close to home but still managed to find new paths to explore - now aching a touch even after a hot bath but it was worth it.











Will give gnu a rest tomorrow as I want to dance the new year in on Wednesday.
