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.

a rosy thank you

No rain for weeks and the garden is in a sorry state - there will be no photos of the flower garden this year! Many large shrubs have now started to wilt too. The new rose garden was nominated to receive the washing up water and has responded in fine style - the roses are giving us a second flush of flowers just when everything else seems to have given up - even the geraniums are looking pale !
