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 rural idyll

The rural idyll- Trevor spent the morning shovelling sheep poo and transporting it home in the trailer where we both shovelled until we had our own smelly pile waiting to be dug into the veg patch .

BUT I also picked lovely small courgettes, some aubergines and lots of chillis just to remind me it will be worth the effort!

Also having spent the morning outside with the "aroma" we were able to eat lunch outside without noticing the fragrant air after our farmer neighbour's two days of work muck spreading on the field around our garden.
