Exploring the Markets

May 7, 2023

There’s something about a French market, which makes them stand out from any others that we’ve visited over the years. It doesn’t matter where you are, there will always be a market nearby, whether it’s a few stalls in a small village, or a vast event that fills the streets and squares of a pretty … More Exploring the Markets

Sparkle and style at the Mathieu Lustrerie

January 13, 2023

In December there are signs up around Apt, advertising it as the ‘Ville de Lumieres’ (town of lights) and it is always well deserving of the title, thanks to Blachere Illumination, the company based in the town, which makes incredible Christmas lights for many of the big cities in France, and across the world; this … More Sparkle and style at the Mathieu Lustrerie

A Slow, Summer Sunday in Provence

July 24, 2022

To say that the last week has been hot, is an understatement. We’ve been in the midst of a heatwave, a ‘canicule’, where the temperatures have been consistently in the high 30s and the nights have been almost too sticky and sultry to sleep. The only thing you can do, is get chores done first … More A Slow, Summer Sunday in Provence

A lovely evening at Les Davids

July 8, 2022

If you’ve followed us for a while now, you probably know that one of our favourite breakfast spots, whilst out on a bike ride, is the lovely little boulangerie at Simiane La Rotonde. By the time we get there, we always feel as if we’ve earned our croissants, as it is pretty much uphill, all … More A lovely evening at Les Davids

Returning to the first signs of Spring

March 8, 2022

Apologies for not having posted for a while, but since Christmas, it has felt as if we have been on a bit of a roller-coaster ride with lots of switchbacks & changes of speed and direction in just about every aspect of our life, but all we can do is hold on tight, and hope … More Returning to the first signs of Spring

A Good Year … Ridley Scott’s Domaine in Provence

December 6, 2021

Before we bought the house here, I used to get my ‘fix’ of Provence and The Luberon, reading Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’ and watching the film ‘A Good Year’, based on one of his books, and set all around the area that we love so much. Directed by Ridley Scott, it’s a step … More A Good Year … Ridley Scott’s Domaine in Provence

Our First Olive Harvest

November 25, 2021

We love our little house and the garden we’ve made here. I have a fig tree, a little cherry tree and even an apricot sapling, all in large tubs on the terrace, but the one thing that we don’t have is an olive tree. We planted one many years ago in the UK, when I … More Our First Olive Harvest

La Maison Basse, Art and Design in Lacoste

November 15, 2021

From time to time, you see something that makes you reconsider some of the decisions you’ve made in life, and a recent visit to the SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) Campus at Lacoste, was one of those moments. It was the first stop on our day with the local Tourist Board, and although … More La Maison Basse, Art and Design in Lacoste

Bikes, Fifi and a smile on our faces

October 30, 2021

After a busy week back in the UK, when we fitted so much in, that it felt as if we kept meeting ourselves coming back in the opposite direction, we are finally back home in Provence, and starting to plan for the next stage of work on the house, finally decorating the living room. It … More Bikes, Fifi and a smile on our faces

Autumn walks in Provence

October 12, 2021

It’s now nearly 2 weeks, since Andy’s little ‘finger’ incident happened and we’ve been settling into life without cycling, as riding with a heavy duty bandage protecting the stitches, doesn’t really make gear-changing particularly easy. I know I can go out on my own, but somehow, it just doesn’t seem right, so the bikes have … More Autumn walks in Provence
