The tranquil Toulourenc
February 21, 2021
We love the long, hot summer days here, getting up early and heading off on the bikes, arriving home before lunch time, then spending the afternoon in the shade, relaxing, or just pottering gently with jobs that need to be done. We never tire of the heat, in fact it was one of the things … More The tranquil Toulourenc
Nice walks in the Luberon
February 15, 2021
I was going to leave walks until W, on this A to Z, but something else has come to mind for that, and so I thought I’d write about the nice walks, that there are around us, instead. It’s funny how there always seems to be a positive from a negative, and at the moment … More Nice walks in the Luberon
Discovering hidden gems
February 5, 2021
It’s hard to imagine that there may be any hidden gems left to discover in our little part of Provence, but that couldn’t be further from the truth, as I’ve really discovered over the last few weeks. Of course, there are delightful places, that are hidden due to their location, as they just aren’t on … More Discovering hidden gems
Off the beaten track in Provence
January 29, 2021
Something happened here yesterday that made nature turn off the freeze button. I don’t know what made it flick the switch, but whatever it was, it made it a very pleasant day. The last few weeks have been bitterly cold, with snow, ice, hail and even ice rain, that hideous weather event that literally turns … More Off the beaten track in Provence
Walking to the Colorado Provencal
January 17, 2021
I woke up this morning with a plan, and it seemed a good one too. After a week of doing lots of long walks with the dog, I had decided that we could both do with a slower day, so planned an early drive to the market at L’Isle Sur La Sorgue, to get a … More Walking to the Colorado Provencal
Hiking in the Luberon
January 10, 2021
This last week, I have been out every day, walking with Millie. Not just a little amble along the lane, or up the trails at the back of the house, but good, long walks, exploring some favourite tracks and finding some new ones too. Although the physiotherapist has said that I can start cycling again, … More Hiking in the Luberon

A little Walk & stunning views above Simiane-La-Rotonde
March 15, 2020
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve got into a bit of a routine, going for a nice bike ride one day and taking Millie for a longer walk on the next. It’s a great time of year to be here with the dog as it’s not too warm to walk, in fact most days … More A little Walk & stunning views above Simiane-La-Rotonde
