Avignon with the Ladies
I’m back y’all! Jet lagged and a bit all over the shop, but back. Plus, I brought a friend from Texas with me… Disco Gayle has descended upon Le Petit Village to reign down her loveliness and keep me company… a soft landing to get over the after holiday homesickness if you will (Disco Gayle…

a winner & i'm outta here
{love in a warm climate} The winner of a copy of Love in a Warm Climate is number 7, Megan (as picked by random.org). Congratulations Megan, and thank you to everyone who entered. …………………………………………………………………………………………………It’s been six months coming… six months since The Husband and I purchased the plane tickets (and heaven knows, a lot of life has…

all the rest of la fête
{teeny tiny carnival} Being totally mature, I called it a night about 11pm on Brazil Day. The Husband was not so mature. He and Gatz (because of course Gatz was staying with us) bumbled in at 4am. Now here’s a question for you; do you think they came in quietly and went straight to bed? Or…

Brazil Day
What does Brazil have to do with Le Petit Village? Nothing. Nothing is the answer. Until now. Every year like most villages in France, Le Petit Village has a weekend festival… it’s full of wholesome carnival fun, loads of ridiculously inexpensive champagne (does anyone remember the dragged through the hedges incident from last year?) and…

love in a warm climate
{love in a warm climate} It’s a nice title, isn’t it? And for me, it’s nicer, more familiar even, because that love and warm climate, takes place right here in the south of France, my stomping grounds (sure it’s set in the Languedoc, and not Provence, but whatever). And get this… the subtitle is, A…

A Testament to my Texas family in France
{rEdOnKuLoUs} There I was at Aidan’s on Saturday afternoon… wondering how I ended up with a nipple cream stain on the hem of my new dress (this is the type thing that could only happen to me. I’m a big ol’ M E double S) wearing my fab new finger accessory, aka doll jeans, and…

my date with Aidan
A couple of Fridays ago, I went out on a date with Aidan (The Husband, Honey Jr and a few others were there too, but I didn’t really care about that). I was so excited for my date with a fellow Texan, and for getting out of of Le Petit Village for the night, that…

l'épicerie
{this photo has nothing to do with this post whatsoever} You know how Le Petit Village only has one épicerie (no boulangerie, no boucherie, no patisserie, just one épicerie)? Well that one épicerie has been closed since June 1st. June 1st! Can you believe it? Now it’s not like the thing was heavily stocked anyway,…

when I should have been at home
Remember when I told you that I went to Avignon when I wasn’t fully over the flu and probably shouldn’t have gone (OK, definitely shouldn’t have gone) but went anyway? Yes? Good. The reason I went was Gatz, aka The Husband’s hetero-life partner. Remember last summer (maybe not since last summer was a long time…
