                                       We can’t turn our backs on Provence after such an amazing Spring and Summer of 2010 without a look back at some pictures of memories, places, smells, sounds and senses………..

[the field of lupins, or was it ???]

[the amazing lavender season]

[our garden - really coming into its own]

And then let’s not forget the characters in the markets and the piles and piles of nature’s bounty that we are so blessed to taste and smell….

[our 'new' 300 year old olive tree]

[experiencing and learning about French traditions from crowns on cakes to lucky charms to lily of the valley for Friends' Day]

[finding our way around the new baggage restrictions - trust a Schneeb to show the way!]

[let's not forget that little matter of the world Cup!]

[the de Chevaux - about which a book will be written one day!]

Signing off would not be complete without a mention of the wonderful friends and family who have blessed us with your presence. We’ve had special times…… we can’t publish pictures of you all but this doesn’t mean that we don’t appreciate your visits and friendship.

to: Rachel and Dave; Judy; Charles and Janet; George and Julie; Ray and Sandra; Chris; Dennis; Francis and Veronika; Jannie, Cath and Jonno plus HJ and Sno-P, and of course Sam and Will, Richard and Emma! Naturally no thanks would be complete without mentions of the Le Renard trio (Vicks, Daviiid, Robi and the much decorated Max and Blitz), and the Montpellier mob (Jean-Pierre, Genevieve, Robert and Sylvie). Let’s also not forget our intrepid, loyal and so happy partners in construction and maintenance: Jose and Nicola; Manu; Gilles and Julien along with Veronique and her team.

Merci bien!
