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.

Jardin Noble Val


We were pleased to see a dry morning today as I always look forward to the Jardin Noble Val plant fairs and the spring event this year had been a very soggy affair.



We went searching for an apricot tree ( the one we bought 5 years back fruited this year but has reverted to its wild plum rootstock - it had to go), and an orange rose. Mission was accomplished, apricot tree and orange rose plus a few extras for luck and this afternoon we have been busy planting.
