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 last grapes

I have spent most of the week making grape jelly to make use of our grape harvest. This is the first year we have had a big crop of usable grapes and I do hate seeing fruit or veg go to waste. Had enough of jamming for the moment though and the cupboard is full so it was time for a different approach.



Today we have picked those that were left and squashed them for juice - a reminder of our days in England where we used to make apple juice every year from our huge apple crop.

The hens have been keen to watch for dropped fruit!
