If it’s Friday, it must be France …

Now here’s a great combination: support a worthwhile cause and have a chance on winning a magical week in a lovely villa in St-Remy-de Provence, plus additional goodies, FREE … not including airfare.

My friend, Julie Mautner has all the details on her latest issue of The Provence Post.  Click right here for all the links to this very worthwhile fundraiser. If you love to know what’s going on in Provence and don’t subscribe to Julie’s site, you should!

Each 10GBP donation (about $15.00) buys you one chance to win and you can enter as often as you like. All proceeds go directly to Busoga Trust’s water and sanitation projects in Uganda.

I’m going to buy my tickets right now. Good luck to you ~ bonne chance!

If you have a minute to relax right now, sit back and enjoy a visit to the beautiful hilltop village of Eze. Click right here for a photo essay of mine posted on the LLM website and it just might fuel some more of your travel fantasies.

Picture yourself strolling through this ancient archway …

I’m deep in my writing den working on book #3 of the Love In Provence series,  but I always have time to indulge in fantasies about France. Just 15 more days before lift off for our summer stay over there. I’ll take you all along with me right here on the blog and also on Instagram. Will you keep me company? I hope so!

Bon weekend, tout le monde! As Ellen says, “Be kind to one another!”

 

Is paper dead?

Recently I was introduced to a great new page on Facebook ~

I LOVE PROVENCE ! Like many others, I developed a slight addiction to popping in each day to see what eye-candy photo had been posted. I was never disappointed because … well … if you love that part of the world, you just do!

This week I was invited to join the admin group of that page and have the opportunity to post my photos and chat about the south of France. Woohoo (it’s the same in French or English) ! Thanks so much!

Drop by whenever you crave un petit gout! I hope to see you there!

In reference to the heading here. Enjoy the following:

If you can’t get enough of excellent information about what is happening in Provence, be sure to subscribe to my friend Julie Mautner’s fabulous The Provence Post.  In her words, “fresh, juicy, local”! It’s all that and more!

Have you seen this ad in North America? I haven’t but I wondered if it was in circulation here too. Paper is most definitely not dead!

Bon weekend, tout le monde!
