At this moment summer finally seems to have come to an end in the Provence and all the grapes have gone. While I am typing this blog the rain is pouring down, the thunder is roaring and I am sitting inside with a warm cup of tea with real 'speculaasjes' from Holland that reached me via a special delivery.
The weather is great to reflect a bit and I can say, that the last few months has been quite an adventure again with the normal ups and downs that life throws at people, and thus also at me. Below some pictures of the ups of life in the Provence.
Sante!

Now I will start planning my last three weeks in Europe while looking forward to springtime in New Zealand.
