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.

family assortment






10 reasons why families are like a Christmas selection box of chocolates









We all have our favourites

Some people like the nutty ones

Others like them soft and sweet

Some are hard on the outside but gooey in the middle

Some are difficult at first but worth the effort

Some are just plain boring

Some you don't like much

Too many at one time can make you feel uncomfortable

But its not a pick'n'mix we don't get to choose what's in the tin 

and, last but not least, when they're gone they're gone
