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.

2015 a bit chilly so far







It certainly has been a cold start to the new year. -5 yesterday morning and -8 this morning. At least today the sunny skies have taken it above freezing and it must be said it is preferable to rainy and damp winter weather. There hasn't been any snow yet but the countryside has been white with frost and looking very beautiful.











Yesterday the both of us began the year nursing a nasty stomach bug so we hunkered down indoors beside the fire playing a game of how many clothes can you wear at once. Thankfully it appears to have been of the 24 hour variety and today we ventured out for a short walk "around the block" - the block for us being the fields and lanes around our house.










Its a bit chilly in our computer area too - that will keep my winter posts short!
