Bought way too much fruit today at the market - there is just so much lovely stuff on offer from the local producers - cherries, strawberries, apricots, melons all coming to a peak.
Consequence was had to make jam this afternoon despite the temperature being way over 30 all afternoon. Made strawberry and redcurrant ( picking redcurrants is another job not really suited for the heat!)
Ended the day with another late night swim to help lower the body temperature before trying to get to sleep.
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.
