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.

farewell Pavillon - thanks for all the memories
It's done - today we went to Toulouse to sign the final acte de vente and hand over the keys - indeed a bittersweet day as we have been trying to sell for several years but Pavillon has been beloved part of of our French adventure and we will miss having it as part of our lives. It has not been without it's "issues" but despite floodings and robberies we will always look back on our holidays there with great fondness. Without Pavillon and those holidays I doubt we would have ever taken the plunge and moved here permanently .
We are so pleased that the buyers are a lovely couple with two young children who live in an apartment in Toulouse seeking a place in the countryside to escape to at weekends and holidays. They have plans but not unrealistic expectations and we hope they will get as much pleasure from the place as we did - it will perfect for them. We wish them many years of happy memory building.
Good to think Trevor won't have that grass to cut now too!
