We are heading into the time of the year when I get quiet. I am more interested in looking than in speaking as if I need to take in fuel for a fire that will burn in the spring. Or maybe it is just a state of mimicry of the sleeping land around me. Also so very quiet. A faded form of flânerie.
Yesterday was one of those afternoons where dear friends pulled Remi and I out of our hibernation to spend the day in the Luberon. Originally, the excuse was to buy wine at the truly excellent Chateau la Verrerie but alas, they were closed as is so much during this “off” season. Fortunately for us, our friends had reserved ahead at a charming auberge in Curcuron. We tucked Ben under the table as best as we could and then spent the next few hours talking until the cheese trolley was rolled away. Yes, of course, we needed to walk after and so off we went. I held my camera low and tight, looking for scraps for fuel. Happily, I found enough that this day will be stop-watched into two or three.
Oh my, it seems like everyone is sick right now! And you know very well that will be other deballages if you are too unwell to travel. 🙂 We are still planning on going and would love to meet up if you make it.
If you email me at ro*************@***oo.com I will send you my contact info. Do you need suggestions for hotels or where to go? I am assuming not but if so, don't hesitate to ask, I love to help.
Oh I forgot to wish you Happy Australia Day! Oh my a BBQ sounds pretty wonderful right about now…
