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.

Aperos at Maggie and Bill's this evening  (if you can call three courses aperos! ) We had a lovely time enjoying their pretty courtyard garden.

It's been a blazing hot day and we had decided we would walk the 5kms or so home. It was just a glorious evening for a walk and the walk from Promilhanes to here is a level stroll along lanes and tracks

 It was just getting dark as we got home - still hot - perfect time for the first bedtime swim of the year.



Amazing moonrise tonight ended a perfect evening!
