aici sén pla: May 2016

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.

exposed

Movie Maker: Starpatch Laguepie expo 2016 - Slideshow

I never really got round to posting about the exhibition once it was under way which seems a shame as I really enjoyed the week. I was "on duty" for four sessions and spent those afternoons chatting and sewing. The expo was a great success with over 1000 visitors over the week which seems amazing for an event in such a small town. Everyone is now starting to think about the next exhibition in three years time but before that a new set of officers for the club is to be decided - could be interesting!
