| We not only get treated to masses of sunshine here... |
It's been a while since we posted!
We're settling in to Provencal life, the weather has been generally dry and hot with occasional storms when the heat gets too much.
We've been lucky to have missed most of the more extreme weather France has been subjected to and the house seems to cope with the heat quite well if we remember to close and open windows and shutters at the appropriate times. Thank goodness for robust, working shutters - now we know that the beautiful iconic shuttered houses of Provence is not just for show.

| The sight, smell and sound of the lavender fields are amazing when walking. |
We've also had our first visitors as Charmaine an Nathan spent a week with us. We spent a night in Marseilles and then combined visiting local attractions with chilling in the garden and pool. It was a lovely time.

| Family time in Mareilles |

| Verdon Gorge |
French school holidays have started and we can already see the area filling up, shuttered holiday houses opening up and pools filling with excited children.
We're getting a lot of walking in, exploring the masses of walking routes from the house every morning.

| A brooding sky. |
Not much else to report - we're settling into life here, and enjoying the slower summer-pace. Any slower and we'd be stationary!!
