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.

watch these spaces

After the open garden weekend we have both been full of ideas. The parts of the garden I like the best are, not surprisingly,  those that have been changed the most by us. We did not start with a blank canvas like many of the gardens we have visited but moved into a garden which had been lovingly designed by its previous manager. It was her pride and joy. Bit by bit, border by border, year by year it has been reformed to become ours. It's always good to have new projects - we are definitely going ahead with a new drip hose watering system for the veg garden and this evening have been eyeing up the next areas for development.
