jul, 17th - provence.......

[pic by A.]

day 519:

we have had an incredible few days in provence so far.....and i have so many things that i want to share....but whilst we're here i'm going to limit myself to a couple of hipstamatic pics a day and a short list of my favourite things...the rest will have to wait until i'm back on the muddy UK island. 

my top 10 favourite things for today:

1. our wonderful guesthouse (more to come) and the view from our room (see above)

2. the smell of lavender in the air

3. the most incredible strawberry and rhubarb jam made by our hosts...enjoyed with strong coffee and a croissant

4. the evening light through a passage of trees as we drive between Uzes and our small village

5. sunshine on bare skin

6. the Uzes weekend market (more to come)

7. the sound of church bells in the morning ringing through the town

8. sitting outside in the evening, Limi fast asleep and A. and i chatting whilst sipping some local rose

9. taking off Limi's shoes so that she could dip her toes in the fountain in the square

10. listening to lilting french all around me
