Blogging back to life...

Setting up The Luberon Blog when we moved here was a great idea, but we overlooked it in the turmoil of getting established in Provence. Hopefully I can now get back to my original intention with a few embellishments. I've decided to now aim to include our other travels and discoveries in Provence and elsewhere.

Summer 2011 has been a whirl, with relatively little time in Provence. Five weeks were spent in Italy with some time in Tuscany, Sicily and Umbria, culminating in an evening at the Opera in the Roman Arena in Verona.

After some time in Switzerland, we spent a week in Meursault enjoying wine and music despite the miserable July weather.  Thinking about wine, leads to a great Roman winemaking mosaic from Merida in Spain!

I will add some thoughts about a few of the wines and restaurants that we enjoyed.

We are back in the Luberon for a couple of weeks, now enjoying perfect weather, amazing fruit and vegetables and good company. We are also having to deal with many enquiries that have arisen because one of our guests wrote an article in the Air Canada "En Route" Magazine.
