Another day, another scorcher. But on the plus side, the morning light is excellent. It’s off to the lavender fields we go! They’re stunning in the morning light, so much better than I’d dared wish […]

2019 Day 30 – Lost in Lavender
There are very few things in this world that would see me willingly enter areas with temperatures threating to exceed 40 degrees. Seeing Provence’s lavender fields in flower is one of them. And it’s so […]
2019 Day 29 – Le Poet-Laval
It’s time to farewell the lovely Lyon and resume our lavender quest. Our journey south takes us along the Rhone river and the vineyards of the Cote de Rhone, Provence bound. It’s clear this is […]

2019 Day 23 – Kaysersberg
We’ve both become quite bewitched by the sheer loveliness of Alscace, barely moving these past few days. And what’s not to love? Picturesque villages full of mediaeval half timbered cottages, prettily flowered window boxes, endless […]
2019 Day 21 – Colmar
We just can’t resist staying another day in Colmar, especially when the morning delivers blue skies. It’s all the encouragement I need to make a beeline to Little Venice for the perfectly framed shot yesterday’s […]
