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.

making our own entertainment

There's no shortage of things going on around here at the moment - the height of summer and its fêtes, festivals, concerts, special markets and  and marchés gourmandes in villages large or small all around us. It's impossible to fit everything in but it didn't stop Trevor suggesting getting together with the other musicians at Salles to organise a "petit bal" during the summer break in the usual dance workshops.

So last night off to Salles we went and there was a great turnout and an enjoyable evening of traditional music and dance was had by all - bon idée TC
