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.

those all important final stitches


Lately I've been making a special effort to get a few patchwork projects finished before starting anything new. As always I've got lots of ideas I want to get started on, new fabrics arriving and the next stained glass panel to do but so many loose ends ...............






First success is hanging the side panels of my blue and white window panels. I'm very pleased with the effect and the middle panel with the Yuan bird is at the quilting stage so nearly there.


I also finally finished the second cats in houses cushion.







Next week friends are going to help me with the backing of my big quilt so I can get started on quilting that - it could take me all year but I really want to see it in the exhibition next June.
