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!
And belatedly to you Edgar!
You are never remiss but always appreciated Karen. 🙂
And the music is really bad too! No thank you!!
Michel, it was even quieter!!!! More about it next week as it is a true find. My Best Wishes to you as well…when are you two heading back this way?
Thank you so kindly Lorrie. Looking forward to seeing what is growing for you this Spring…
I have been thinking of you oodles.
And yes, a lot of the time but not today. Occasionally, I have to desaturate the blue of the photos in Photoshop because otherwise it just looks too crazy!
Gina, I am SO sorry that I am so late in responding to this – we had even less internet than usual while away. The Jules Cesar is not a small hotel! 🙂 It is currently being renovated by famous designer Christian Lacroix and will most likely be a 4 or 5 star when it reopens. We drove by it on our way back into town and it is looking gorgeous. The building is amazing – it was a convent until the French Revolution and has a garden in the back…
If you need anything else, feel free to email me at robinsonheather (at) yahoo.com…I love to help!
Done! And looks gorgeous too…
Am just coming to your warm Wishes after having written my new post – and it looks as though you made a wonderful prediction!! Merci friend, looking forward to getting caught up with you…
