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.

garden tour

view from our bedroom window



The weather is being very changeable at the moment . We've had some lovely sunny warm days, yesterday the Autun nearly blew us away and today is dull and a bit chilly. Nothing dull about the garden though and a couple more days of sunshine will see lots more open.









greenhouse is filling up nicely


a few more days of sun needed



This camellia looks like being stunning this year
looking forward to this one













the new rose bed

will be unwrapping the banana plants soon and taking stock of what has survived in the" tropical" garden

Our new cypress will fill that gap nicely



the flower garden has a new path this year as the old wooden one has rotted





lots to do in the potager
