Geez is it really June

February and it’s all about the Camargue!

Apologies to those that may have read my last Camargue post but here’s another one 😂 It’s two years since we first visited this fascinating area of France and last weekend we headed back again. The purpose this time was to look more closely at everything Camarguaise...
Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas

Wow, another Christmas has come around and another year end approaches. But turn back time to November (before our weeks of rain!) and it was garden harvest time. We may only have a handful of fruit trees and a couple of olive trees but this year was a bumper harvest....

And with it a definite change of temperature here in our little corner of France. We were still swimming at the end of September but now the central heating is on and the chimneys are being swept (an annual requirement here in France for house insurance!) However...

Back Out and About

Well having got a bit behind with this blog there’s a fair bit to catch up on! With winter now behind us and some sunny Spring days we are now out of hibernation and back on the road. The warmer weather has also meant some time in the garden where a bit of...

February is nearly over and a week ago I ‘celebrated’ a milestone birthday. How is it that your mind says  you are thirty years younger than your body!!😂 A ‘shake down’ trip for Tonto took us onto the Île de Re but we managed to pick the only bad weather day in a...
