Picnic on l’Orb
Picnic Selfie We had a lovely and totally delicious picnic with Antony and Vincente on the river bank of the l'Orb, dappled shade, perfect view. Then we walked up to the Mediterranean Gardens above Roquebrun. Quite a hike - as many steps as Mount Manaia but similar...
At Marseillan
At Marseillan We managed to arrive in port before the wind came up on the Etang. We have had a lovely time catching up with friends and family, especially meeting baby Madeleine. The Marche du Potiers was as inspirational as always, took lots of photos to...
Bezier for a Week
Lady Mary Blog 2018 A week in Bezier It was lovely to be reunited with Lady Mary in Pohile, fewer duck eggs to clean up this year and no ants or rats. We headed down the canal to Colombiers to fill up with water and be on the power for serious cleaning, nicely timed...
Change of crew!

A Windy Week
We have had a lovely week in the Camargue with Viv. We have seen flamingos, whites horses with their foals and little blcak bulls so we are all very happy. Viv caught a fish which we ate, not sure what sort it was. Aigue Morte gave us great...

Greetings from Marseillan
We are back in our favourite port for the week and have caught up with friends on boats and on shore. There are huge renovations going on in the port and in the town so it is very noisy and always something to see. The building next to us is undergoing demolition?...
Arrival
Lady Mary 2017 We have arrived! What a relief after a 37hr journey which the new electric chilly bin (for beer and rose on deck) and the folding sack barrow survived. After a lovely two days with Gillian in Paris, which included a visit to the wonderful and inspiring...
Wind and gulls, return to Marseillan
If it wasn't so windy we might find the heat oppressive. After a glorious stay in Bouzigues swimming 3 or 4 times a day we are back in Marseillan before the last leg up the canal. The seagulls here are far noisier and more voracious that anywhere else, I saw one have...
Only in France
On the water again after a long stay at Marseillan waiting for a new hose for the port motor. Visits to Noilly Prat essential. A little trip to Nice and Grasse with Robyn and Shaune was fun in spite of the challenging drive. Stayed at Domaine du Moulin  and highly...
