guest post: Betsy Transatlantically
Coucou! Guess where I am? THE LPV! The Husband and I arrived yesterday absolutely shattered after the 6AM flight and our crazy, non-stop week in Dublin. I’m knee deep in unpacking and laundry with hardly a moment to spare because tomorrow we travel to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for the Gypsy Festival only to turn around and head…

guest post: kisses and croissants
We’re on Dublin day five now and slowing down a bit (#notasyoungasweusedtobe). Two more days of getting my fill of my old town and then it’s back to life in The LPV. While I sip my cuppa and contemplate what to do today (and how to get The Husband up and out of bed), I…

guest post: The Rich Life
Bonjour tout le monde! Today I’m introducing you to my friend Adrienne. I’d love to give her the fantastic introduction that she deserves but nothing I could write today would do her justice… Mr. London and Toulon won the Heineken Cup championship last night here in Dublin (that means they’re the rugby champions of Europe…

guest post: Lost in Arles
Dia Dhuit! That’s ‘hi‘ in Gaelic. Yep, I’m in Ireland. Dublin to be exact. But honestly, I would never say hello like that. In Dublin, I say, “hiya“. Mrs. London, The Husband and I arrived yesterday and have settled into our Auntie’s house. (Mr. London did as well but on a different plane, and we…

ciao ciao
{La Petite teaching her Tonton} ++ I’ve not gone Italian on you, it just so happens that we say ciao in the south of France too. Papa says it, Honey’s Honey says it, The Husband says it… we all say it. I guess it’s because lots of people here are of Italian heritage (The Husband’s…

mon parfait dimanche
That means, ‘my perfect Sunday’, but technically I should have titled this post, ‘mon parfaite dimanche de printemps‘, which means, ‘my perfect spring Sunday’, because this type of Sunday really only applies to Spring and Summer. If it was winter, then this would all be malarky. When spring is in full swing in Le Petit…

stung
The Honeys produce over thirteen tons of honey a year. That’s a whole lot of honey, especially when you consider that’s there’s only three of them harvesting it (Mr. & Mrs. Honey and Honey Jr… but soon Honey’s Honey will join them), so it’s no surprise that they need a little help from time to…

beached
I’ve got nothing to blog about at the moment. Nothing. It’s not like there isn’t stuff going on here right now, there is. To be honest Le Petit Village can be a rather scandalous place and there’s usually some liasons dangereuses or petits scandales going down but it’s not stuff I can blog about per se no matter…

a last minute dash to the côte d'azur
{Toulon & the Mediterranean} I’m blogging about my last minute dash to the Côte d’Azur from the Côte d’Azur, but I’m not talking about this one, I’m talking about a trip a couple of weeks ago. And then maybe I’ll tell you about this one, a couple of weeks from now (I seem to be running about two-three weeks behind…

alors
++ It looks like those pesky April showers have given way to May flowers. After a month of mostly rainy days the weekend is forecast for sunny skies and 21°C/ 70°F (after we get past the 60% chance of rain today). It’s perfectly delightful weather for barbecues and rugby which is fantastic because that’s what we’re…
