Cold in Cavaillon

We are still freezing here. Provence has a cold, cruel wind called the mistral which blows constantly. I read that the mistral is named after a poet called Frédéric Mistral who lived in the 1800’s. Fancy having a wind named after you…hmmm.

We’ve had another load of wood delivered and we have the fire in our living room going every day. It’s a built-in enclosed fire behind glass and its really yummy and toasty warm to sit in front of eating chocolate and watching tv.

The villa has a big back yard and a beautiful inground pool outside our back door which we can't wait to use when it gets warm enough.
