Exhausted in Provence

Shirley and I have been back in Provence for a little more than a week. We have been going constantly from the moment we wake up in the morning, to the ringing church bells, to when we fall asleep at night, seemingly the minute our heads hit the pillow.

We have visited towns and villages, wandered through markets, met up with friends and family, gone wine tasting `at several wineries, cooked and eaten a lot of great food accompanied by some of the region's best wine.

We are having so much fun and I have lots to share with you. But as you can see from the picture below, I am exhausted at the end of every day so posting will have to wait till we are back to California.

One evening I "retired" to the chair after cooking dinner and fell asleep next to the fireplace in the kitchen. One of our good friends shot this "flattering" picture of me with my own camera while I enjoyed the warmth of the fire.

We have had glorious weather for March, mostly sunshine during the day but cool at night. The first few days, our heater didn't seem to be working very well, so we spent the evenings huddled around the fireplace in the kitchen.

Turns out our property manager had turned down the chaudière to save us money which if you are reading this Paul, we definitely appreciate. Once we figured that out with his help, the house has been toasty warm.

That's all for now; lots more to come. Bonne journée mes amis et à bientôt.
