A week in Provence

Sadly not a year, but I'll take a week when the chance arrives. I went to join Lisa, her Mum and kids in Bonnieux while they are holidaying there.

There weren't any sleep-ins (!) but it was a lovely break and great timing conveniently between changing roles at the agency. We had warm sunny weather, explored the villages, picnicked, hired bikes and strolled through markets. We ate fresh warm bread every day from the bakery, croissants, and drank pitchers of local rose. Plus there was lots of playtime with Hamish, and my goddaughter, Louisa.

Still not bored of the view, I could wake up to this every day
