Behind the Photos IX
Ahhh… summer in Provence. There are few things that make my heart sing the way summer in Provence does. Le Petit Village comes alive with the sun and we all move outside in celebration. (The following photos are from Summer 2010.) Here’s me celebrating the arrival of the season as it should be, with Rosé. I…

Avignon {wining + dining}
Before going to see Les Luminessences d’Avignon, we decided to treat ourselves to dinner and drinks in the city (this country mouse needs to get a dose of city living every now and then). As I walked around, I tried to really pay attention and soak all of Avignon in. I wasn’t in quite full…

tartiflette
Today I’m going to do something that I’ve never done before… a recipe post. You see what happened was this; on Saturday afternoon, we were watching the rugby on telly (Clermont was battling Brive in one doozy of a match), when Gregory suddenly sat up, looked and me and exclaimed, “I want Tartiflette.” (These food…

How do you know when you need a break? Like, when is it time to take a step back from the desk/ kitchen sink/ lab/ or where ever your workspace happens to be, and step away? Superbreak knows when it’s time and when it is, they recommend taking a trip, like perhaps to London, or…
