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.

first barbecue of the year

What a glorious day ! Spring is well sprung - today was more like summer.

It was the first day of the year when we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner outside. This afternoon it was time to rethink the menu plans and light the barbecue!






After dinner, with the second bottle of wine opened we opted for a walk "around the block" mostly to reduce the alcohol intake !





the three towers of Puylagarde 4kms awy on the horizon


I can never quite get to grips with the fact that really
is my house in the middle of all those fields







And that's my house!

We are on the edge of a change in lifestyle into our "summer mode" - it was still warm enough to sit outside as darkness fell and the bats were flitting around. We will need to get the video space cleared to record anything interesting on TV in the next few months.
