I am having a difficult time keeping up with Life in the Charente at present! Having just returned from 3 weeks holiday in Spain and Portugal, I have not got the time for lots of research which most of my posts need. Nigel is great at helping me, but there is so much to do in the garden, we are both very busy. I am, though, doing my best to keep up the daily photodiary and adding a few holiday photos to each day, so if you are interested, please take a look at it HERE. Winter should be a good time for me to catch up once again, but if I have time I will pop in a few posts before that. As Arnie S once said,I will be back :-)
A taste of our holiday photos - the way to travel in Seville, Spain.
A new blog for France - friends just making the move take a look Here.

I know you will be very busy in the garden I know the size of it LOL ,, So take care and blog when you can, I am . xooxo
ReplyDeleteI love riding in a horse drawn carriage and have done it a few times. I like to see them too, so thanks for the photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. It reminds me of Old Town in Montreal which has that old town French feeling. Enjoy the garden.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the outdoors, summer, nature…. and come back in winter. Hope your front tooth is OK.
ReplyDeletetake your time diane! relax a bit and we will all be here when you come back!
ReplyDeleteI took a look at the photographs...stunning! You must have had a wonderful holiday...and, as usual, on return there is the garden, the preserving...and just a little time to breathe...
ReplyDeleteWhenever you get the time it is always worth reading and so beautifully illustrated with pics. Life is for living, and writing about after.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next chapter.

I know the feeling. When you get home there is so much to do, especially in summer there, I imagine. Good luck with your chores and looking forward to seeing your holiday shots. I'll check out your other site.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I could spend all day and all night out in the garden at the moment. Never mind the housework.
ReplyDeleteTake your time Diane and enjoy life. We're here when you return. In the meantime, have fun.

Relax, Diane and don't push it. Summer is a busy time and the garden and all demands attention. Your photo is great!
ReplyDeleteSummertime is so busy. I love the photo of the horse and carriage. I hope you had a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane .. I can imagine you're both up to your eyes in gardening, and preserving some early fresh produce - and eating some of it I hope ... Seville I'd love to visit ... I'll be around to visit your photos at some stage .. in the meantime enjoy yourselves .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful way to travel! I hope your garden didn't grow too amok while you were on holiday. My son and his bride just returned from 5 weeks in Europe, and they said the weather was perfect. I'm looking forward to your vacation recap.
ReplyDeleteI've never ridden in a horse drawn carriage so must put that on my list. Is there ever enough time? Enjoy the garden so you can reap the rewards.
ReplyDeleteThe horse carriage reminds me of South Korea. We did that when we visited one of their beautiful island! MIss visiting your blog, we just came back from our vacation. Hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteI haven't blogged or visited in months... so nice to see everyone again. You are having a great summer to be sure. Blogging should always be fun, not a chore. Life does get in the way sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoy your photo diary and with so many interests and commitments myself understand completely your comments. Take Care. :)
ReplyDeleteYour super photo reminds me of happy times. My wife and I love to travel by horse and carriage when we are on holiday. It's just a superbly relaxed way of getting around with time to take in all the sights. Have a wonderful weekend Diane, and don't work too hard!
ReplyDeleteno worries life first sounds like a fun trip
ReplyDeleteLovely foto sevilia, have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteJust found your lovely blog. We're in the process of buying a farmhouse in Brittany. We're not moving there permanently....yet...but in the future who knows?! We complete next month. Enjoy your holiday. They'll be plenty of time for blogging when the sun's gone in! X
ReplyDeleteHi Diane , you are doing well , we cannot all be super bloggers, we have lives too , I am hopefully going to do another post soon , slowly but surely , look forward to more photos of your holidays xoxo Take care,
ReplyDeleteHello Diane,
ReplyDeleteWe really want to visit Seville and, we have to confess that we have never been to Spain. We really must rectify this as we are very aware that there are so many treasures to be found in this country.
When real life gets in the way, that is the perfect excuse not to blog. So much to say but no time to write it down........story of our lives too!
It's been so long since I've visited the blog - this look so lovely! You must be having the best time, Diane.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally fine - I've taken the longest break from blogging to get my life together! :) Have fun!
This walk would be beautiful on a cool morning…..Not to mention educaltional too.
