It is time to skeedaddle, mes amis. Ah yes, do you hear the pounding of hooves in the Arena and the rolling of wine barrels towards the bars? It can only mean one thing, the Feria de Pâques has arrived yet again.
And this year, we have a new bodega or nightclub that is conveniently located right under…
…our bedroom window! So let’s follow that arrow…
…and leave the old things behind…
…for a bit of new!
Some time in the outdoors…
…to watch the shadows twist and turn…
…under the big blue sky.
I will let the crowds slake their blood-thirst and come back to the quieter Arles that I know and love next week. So please pardon me, it is time to dosey doe…off I go…
Kids, I know that a lot of you don’t have instagram (although you don’t need a smart phone to follow along, just take a gander here) so I thought that I would share some of my recent favorite photos. I have prepared a few very light posts for while we are gone. Alas someone beat us to the punch and reserved our beloved cabanon in the Luberon but we have found another in the country outside of L’Isle sur la Sorgue which looks lovely. However, they have told us that internet and phone connections are shaky. So if you don’t hear a peep from me, not to worry, I’ll be back soon and I will take this time to wish you a bit in advance a very Happy Easter weekend for those that are celebrating and for everyone else, Happy Spring!
Hello to you both and I trust that your Eastertide was a joyful one as well? I imagine Jane signing at the lovely church in Budapest…such a fitting tribute to lift one's voice in song. Much Love to you both,

A nightclub under your bedroom window?! Quelle horreur!! Like, seriously.
Enjoy your exile and happy (belated) Easter!
Love that first shot with the Wisteria. Enjoy your holiday. We rented a village house in Lourmarin for a week and headed into the hills daily. Wish we had visited L'Isle sur la Sorge any day but market day. In am not one for large crowds. I am so jealous…would love to be back there. Can't wait to see your pictures.
What glorious colors! Enjoy your holidays!

Have a lovely break! Happy Easter. I think spotty Internet and phone can be a very good thing. Enjoy!
I have been to L'isle du SORGUE (did i spell the right?Probably not!)Even worse if you could hear me pronounce it!
Beautiful area to spend the weekend!We stayed in an old farmhouse in the middle of a cherry orchard!Small little town……OF COURSE and I cannot recall the name!This was many years ago I went with some neighbors.My room for the week was $300.00.I couldn't PASS that up!
Hope the EASTER BUN BUN finds you and the PUPS in a field of flowers!!!!TAKE PHOTOS!!!
