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.

house rules

We don't have many house rules but one we agree on is that if one of us wants to go out and the other wants to stay in - we go out, lots of time for staying in when you have to and that's always the easy option. Same goes for an after dinner walk in the evening - if one of us suggests it then out we go.

Tonight I didn't need much persuading. It was a lovely warm evening and I had been sat down all afternoon at patchwork.

As we set off we were amused to see that the team who cut the verges today were obviously flower lovers - every patch of dog daisies had been mown around.


We saw some nice orchids too
Lizards orchids will flower later
 Glad we made good use of the fine evening as the weather forecast for the rest of the week is horrible. Just hoping it will return to fine next week for our next visitors.
