From Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, all spruced up for the holidays, wishing you…
All the very best for JOYEUSES FÊTES 2025 & MEILLEURS VŒUX FOR 2026!
My heartfelt thanks to you for taking the time to read my blog and your supportive comments throughout the year. I hope my stories have provided some joie de vivre moments, boosting your spirits.
And may those positive sentiments continue to resonate as time goes by. And going by is what time does—2026 is nearly here! But before we ring in the new year, I hope you’ll enjoy some sweet, slow-lane time filled with holiday cheer.
As always, wherever you are, dear readers, all the very best for happiness, health, and hope.
Bises, Gayle

The Common Cranes are back—yay! Ralph and I heard their honking before they showed up–dozens of them flying over Saint-Rémy!

Pleasures of Provence has progressed through the proofreader, and the cover is in the works. Full of cautious optimism, I’m hopeful the book will see the light of day by early spring—watch this space!
