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

Life flies by in Provence

December 31, 2021

I can’t believe that it’s New Year’s Eve already. Where has this year gone? I remember my mum saying to me that the older you get, the faster the years seem to go, and I never thought that would be possible. But this year has gone by in a flash, and it’s the first time … More Life flies by in Provence

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

Figs, a lost phone and cake

September 13, 2021

Life here is never boring, and sometimes, even the simplest of things takes a twist, which leaves us wondering how we manage to get through a day without some disaster, or another. Take this weekend as an example. On Saturday, we headed out on the bikes, on one of our favourite little rides, that takes … More Figs, a lost phone and cake

Making the most of life in Provence

September 5, 2021

This time last week, Andy was back in Exeter, making sure that everything was ready for his return back to France. He had his sheaf of paperwork ready, his European vaccine passport on his phone, and his rucksack packed for the train journey home to Provence.

An Epic Day – Tour De France on Mont Ventoux

July 7, 2021

So the day has finally dawned and today saw the Tour de France head to Provence for an epic stage, which would see the riders tackle the ‘Giant of Provence’, Mont Ventoux twice in a day’s stage.

Enjoying the little things in Provence

June 18, 2021

After 5 years of owning the house here, I thought we had a good knowledge of our little part of Provence. We’ve got beneath the skin of the area, have some favourite little places, quiet little nooks that we go to, far away from the summer crowds, and just have found our own way here, … More Enjoying the little things in Provence

Making our house a home

May 10, 2021

It’s all been a bit busy, since Andy arrived back, and it’s hard to believe that nearly 12 weeks have passed already. Of course we’ve been back out on the bikes… And enjoying some wonderful long walks too, watching spring start to take hold….. But in between times, we’ve been busy doing lots on the … More Making our house a home
