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.

busy busy busy - hot hot HOT



June has been a very busy month with a succession of family and friends visiting. We have had lots of airport runs to do, lots of sightseeing trips and loads of lovely meals out. Its been lovely seeing everyone and spending good times sharing our "vie en France". Between visitors  the summer means there is loads going on, so much so that it is inevitable we can't fit everything in.








This in turn means that jobs in the garden have been sorely neglected. Today we have at last had a day to ourselves at home to get some things done - trouble is we are in middle of a full blown canicule with temperatures staying in the twenties overnight after really scorching daytimes.





For once today we have been glad of the Autun blowing to give us a bit of a breeze and we have at last got our drip feed watering system set up in the veg garden ( we bought it about a month ago!). That will save me from filling and carrying heavy watering cans for an hour every day!
