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.

changeable

It was well below freezing when we woke up this morning with the garden and field covered in a thick white frost. When we set odd to the shops it was a chilly 4degs but by the time we left the shop it was 15degs and we came back to have our first outside lunch of the year.






 Even better I have just been able to sit outside in the sun reading for a couple of hours. The sun has now got low so I came in - inside it's b.....y freezing - another jumper needed. It has been a glorious day though.
