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.

barbecue English style - they had been warned

We did warn our friends that being English we don't let a little thing like the weather put us off a barbecue once it's planned.

Today was still cool and breezy but at least it was dry and the summer kitchen was sheltered from the wind.

Our friends arrived well wrapped up - we were in t-shirts and cardigans - Corrine was wearing trousers, boots, jumper and coat. Eric and Trevor had had their planned music practice and afterwards we had our barbecue. We put our indoor gas heater next to Corrine while we ate and she was happy. Very reminiscent of  evenings at 82 with the gas patio heater.

It was a great evening  - and not an umbrella in sight ( call that an English barbecue?)
