It has been grey for a few days and since work has piled up, I did not take the time for a real walk or for a little jogging. No time out means I have been dreaming of the sun, of warmth and I suddenly remember la Provence: its odours (wild thyme, lavender, ripe fruits), its food and its people, so friendly and welcoming.<\/p>\n

We were there in 2005 for the marriage of a friend in Marseille. We spent three beautiful weeks exploring Luberon-Provence and a bit of Haute-Savoie<\/a> where another of our friend grew up. We rented a little house in Joucas<\/a>, near Gordes<\/a>. Our hosts were in their seventies and beat the crap out of us at p\u00e9tanque<\/a>. Each day, they would bring us a basket of ripe cherries or apricots from their orchard. We could hear cicadas sing while we drank ros\u00e9, comfortably seated at the terrace. Sigh!<\/p>\n
