When we realized that we weren’t going to the states and that my husband would be free to work from home wherever he wanted, there was only one place on our minds – FRANCE! After spending so many holidays there over the past number of years, we had both totally fallen in love with the countryside, culture, lifestyle and weather. Living …

All it I takes is a quick look at my blog timeline to see that other than the odd knitting project, I’ve not really been writing a whole lot. Why? Well, mostly because I’ve been too damn tired. I had very limited mental and physical energy to put towards anything and blogging wasn’t really a priority. In a few of …

I know it’s not totally unlike me to not write regularly, but just in case you were wondering why I went so silent after my last post, it’s because I’ve been away for the last three weeks!

Do you remember last year when we were in the south of France and I happened upon the work of an artist named Andre Debru? He had the coolest art made of different bits of scrap metal and I was so taken by his installment in the roundabout in Roquefort that I just had to track him down and visit …

While on holiday in the south of France my husband and I went to visit the Roquefort caves with my mother-in-law. On the way there we came across a roundabout with an art installation in the middle that caught our eye. I’m generally not into art all that much but my MIL is an artist and both of us had …

Last week Xander and I picked up his mom and headed off to Roquefort to check out the cheese caves. It’s something we have wanted to do for a while but we usually visit in the fall when the cheese is already made and the caves are empty. This year we were just in time to catch the end of …

One thing I didn’t mention in my recent post about my trip to the south of France was that while I was down there, I finally got to swipe another item off my 101 list! To swim in the Mediterranean! It has been on my list during two of my previous trips but we just never did get around to …
