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.

well preserved

Not me you understand  - but with the daily veg collection only just easing off it's been a busy few weeks trying to get all of my hard won produce used and safely stored for the winter.

The jam cupboard is full, the freezer likewise, we also have jars and jars of dried cherry tomatoes in olive oil in the fridge and some boozy warming tipples for the winter months. Feeling fairly satisfied that very little has gone to waste but its been somewhat relentless work.



Looking forward to a couple of days at the seaside as a reward! Off to Collioure tomorrow for some sea air and seafood.
