Pleasure

In Provence  the attitude to life is calm and all about pleasure,(especially if pleasure can be ingested). The fruit bursts with flavour and the wine leaves a constant smile on your face..don't even get me started on the bread or we'll be here all day. My favourite moments were spent at this table in the sunshine, drinking rosé, eating melon and conversing in broken French.

Wild

 I love visiting places with a high altitude. The higher the better, even though I feel a prickle of fear every time I look down. It's thrilling to see the world below, believing that you have transcended it somehow. While on an expedition to Mons, I found these wild roses swaying in the wind and thought they were a beautiful contrast to the valleys beneath.
