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.

wood warm

Yes indeed - despite the freezing temperatures we kept warm outside this morning. There was a huge pile of logs waiting to be cut to size - luckily although the logs were still covered with frost the sun was shining near the wood sheds









 And so some hours later all was done and neatly stacked away.













A late "lunch" of English beer and crisps was just the thing before a good long soak.













We are eating our New Year's Eve dinner early this evening so that we have time to recover and get second wind ready to go out to party. As usual we are off to  Puylagarde to the bal organised by our dance association - hoping we won't be the first to leave this year . We made it til 1.30am last year which put us amongst the first to go.
