Still Summer!

Whoa ... Where did those two months go? 

I haven't written/ posted anything since July but during my walk yesterday I had the sudden urge that I need to get back at it for me. 

Life has been full this Summer and I don't think it's quite over yet ... I'll be back soon writing stories and sharing my photos. 

Enjoy these "Summer" Days!

Postcards from the Lot: Sainte - Hélène in Olonzac

This post was in my Facebook memories today and thought I would repost for anyone interested in renting a very charming, comfortable fully equipped "French" apartment or one of Sainte - Hélene bed & breakfast rooms.



If you do you won't be dissappointed and be sure to say "Bonjour" to Kay and Mark!

More Memories of Uzes!

The only thing on our to do list while "unwinding in Uzes" was to stop in to say "Hello" to our artist friend, David Jamin and his lovely wife, Severine.


We were warmly greeted by both. We had a quick visit and toured his new works in the gallery.




David has been very busy creating magic with his paint brushes. There are many new colourful pieces.

A favorite of mine is this one ...  I see people sitting at cafés, families strolling in the square "Place aux Herbes" ... see the fountain. 
We first met David Jamin in Place aux Herbes last year at the "Art in the Square" and later during our stay we found our perfect souvenir for our 2014 adventure.





What a good "idea" this was to visit Uzes as part our last day of adventure in France.
                 

This year we did not make any major purchases (it was our last day in France and we were already packed) ... we did buy a package of beautifully printed cards of David's paintings.
Here's a couple of the cards ... 



Until the next time that we can visit France and Uzes we will have our memories that are rekindled whenever we look at our "souvenir" painting that hangs in our living room.

Life is art, live yours in colour!
