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.

winter solstice

Add caption


After a somewhat chilly and damp couple of weeks in England it is nice to be having some crisp winter weather here now we are back at home. It wasn't too cold while we were away so the house had not got as freezing as it sometimes does when we leave for two weeks in December. But since our return we have had some sharp frosts (the first of the winter) and clear blue skies and sunshine during the day. And the best news of all ( for those of us who hate the winter) we have now passed the shortest day and can start to dream of the Spring!
