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.

that's not supposed to happen



I got wet trousers in Villefranche market this morning and not because of rain. The fountain clock in the square hadn't been disabled - presumably someone enjoying their bank holiday today hadn't though it through! Water was squirting up under stalls, between stalls.




It amused me that , in true French fashion,everyone carried on as if nothing was happening - but no doubt it had been happening every 15mins all morning!
