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.

two pairs of hands better than one

Today was the momentous day my red and blue quilt was backed ready for quilting. I have been waiting for a time when my friend Jean, who has experience of these things, could help. With her big table and roller the job was a piece of cake - thanks Jean.




 


Now I have no excuse and have to start on the quilting - it will probably take me all the next year - I just have to get it finished for the exhibition in the summer of 2016 . I'll be able to use my Christmas present ( a floor standing quilting frame) for the first time.  I have started on the next quilt too - there has to be a rest from quilting which makes your fingers sore!
