It’s already over

The lion’s share of my vacation has already passed by. But a glorious vacation it was!

My goddaughter’s sleepover and planned visit to an amusement park was a rounding success. Definitely worth repeating!

Then followed the travelling portion of my vacation.
My parents were staying with the caravan in Saint Rémy de Provence for a couple of weeks. Since I had no other plans this summer, I decided to visit them for a week.

My arrival was a little depressing, since it started raining the moment I set foot on French soil and didn’t relent for the rest of the day. Luckily it was only that day!

My plan for this trip was that I didn’t have a plan. I just wanted to be away for a while. No obligations, no things I absolutely wanted to see or do. Just at ease, relaxing. And relaxing it was! I rested (and slept) a lot, read a fair share and did a teensy bit of crocheting and knitting. It just was too hot for that.
But happily I also visited quite a lot! The Provence is such a beautiful region.

A region of glorious views

And picturesque, sometimes dilapidated buildings and cosy alleys.

A region with castles and villages high in the rocks.

And folkloric celebrations.

A region with Roman sites.

A pinch of Van Gogh.

And occasionally a beautiful butterfly.

But unfortunately, all good things come to an end. I still have vacation this week, but then it’s back to work. Sigh. I’m still enjoying the afterglow though!

Cheers,
Charlotte
