Party on dude

Its my birthday and I'm feeling crap!

Well the anniversary of Rivan has arrived and he is officially 1 today – several questions arise – where has the last year gone? How did we produce such a handsome young man? What will the next year bring? The morning started rather early with Rivan waking...

Brocantes and strawberries

Brocantes are a great place to find some real bargains and the one at Jouhet was no exception. The village is a pretty one with a lovely centre by the river. Sadly the weather was not kind to the many stall holders in the morning but the afternoon brightened...

Picnic by the lake

It has been hot hot hot and quite a shock to the system – not long ago we had frost and now we are basking in temperatures of 30 degrees – I am not complaining. We have our morning routine and this includes visiting our very dear neighbours – Mami and...

Long live Bagpuss

Childhood cartoons bring back many memories – the simple opening title music can take me back to when I was a small child and one of my favourite was Bagpuss. I loved that floppy pink cat that came to life when Emily brings all sorts of things that she...

It’s been balmy and hot here the last few days and we have been making the most of it by spending time with our friends – simple pleasures of life. I believe that Rivan is starting to understand the concept of hot as he crawled across our friends decking...

The new arrivals in Goumas

This morning we woke to a wonderful sunny day – spring in Goumas is one of my favourite times of year – not too hot or cold and the sunshine and light is soft and dreamy. Had a French conversation lesson last night with a couple of friends and she recalled...
