A bit of research and a change of name
March 27, 2020
A few weeks ago I posted about our new car, a rather wonderful 2 CV that is destined for a new life in Provence, with a plan to do a bit of a road-trip at the start of May to drive her from Exeter down to The Luberon.

Another walk to Roussillon with Millie for coffee
March 5, 2020
Although we always like to think that every day in Provence is warm and sunny, that really isn’t the case. In the last week we’ve had sunshine & blue skies one day… then heavy snow the next…. before a couple of days of icy wind and a milky sky…. and then today simply leaden skies … More Another walk to Roussillon with Millie for coffee

Travelling to Provence is never boring… A mad dash through the streets of Paris…
January 7, 2020
Today started early, with my body-clock waking me at 3.57am, rather than the alarm, which was set for 3 minutes later… In fact I am starting to wonder why I bother to set an alarm in the first place.
