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.

the taste of things to come


Hot, hot, hot today - June has certainly come in on a wave of sunshine this year. ( Luckily May ended pretty good too and gave Adam and family good weather for their half term visit)









We are well into summer mode - gardening done at a slow pace - cooling off in the pool and today we ate the first fruits of our labours in the veg garden. I picked the first broad bean and peas and dug our first tiny new potatoes for our dinner.
Garlic harvest
loads of redcurrants - will be making lots of
redcurrant and ........ jam
