All the seasons in a week, in Provence

February 7, 2023

Over the last week, the days have slipped comfortably past, with enough going on to keep me busy, whilst Andy has been away, fitting in lots of chores around the more enjoyable aspects of life here. In many ways, it’s been a bit of a bizarre week, especially when it comes to the weather. Over … More All the seasons in a week, in Provence

Car-Free Holidays in The Luberon

November 13, 2022

Recently, I’ve seen quite a few questions about whether it’s possible to visit The Luberon without having to come by car. The queries range from how to get to the area from airports across France to whether it’s possible to explore, once they arrive. The simple answer to them all is yes. It may be … More Car-Free Holidays in The Luberon

History and Wine at the Chateau de Mille

September 29, 2022

Since buying our little place over 6 years ago, we must have cycled past the huge old barrel at the entrance to the Chateau de Mille, hundreds of times and have always wondered what it is like, promising ourselves that one day, we would go and visit this ancient Domaine. This week, we finally had … More History and Wine at the Chateau de Mille

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

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. After trying just about every possible way to travel … More Making the most of life in 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. As I started writing this, it was 7.15am in Devon, and I got my first message from Andy … More An Epic Day – Tour De France on Mont Ventoux
