Like a Postcard from Provence



It is hard to imagine sometimes, driving through the Provence countryside, that we are actually here, living it and experiencing everything we do. Sometimes it feels like a dream and like living in a postcard, particularly as we drive through the rolling fields on our way into town, with the blue sky above, and the Alpilles in the distance, it is a dream that not even a painting or photograph can truly capture.

This time in the summer, we see the fields mowed, and rolls of hay waiting to be removed, like an impressionist painting. This afternoon we saw cattle being herded and moved by three men on white horses, the equivalent of French cowboys.

We are incredibly fortunate to be here and share it with you.
