Christmas In Provence… Joyeuses Fetes

The Christmas tree is sparkling

The red berry wreath is in place

The shadows cast long over the farmhouse… like long protective arms, they hug our home for Christmas …

The morning mists envelop the garden and muffle any sounds

The Persimmons are ripe and ready for picking

And the ruby red amaryllis are in place for Christmas Day

The decorations are on the tree… every last one, every much loved bauble… new and old

The hyacinths are potted and the hellebores are blooming

Presents are wrapped and the candles are ready to be lit

Garlands are hung… and the tulips are opening

Joyeuses Fêtes…

I would like to say a very heartfelt thank you for your company this year. You are the kindest and most generous readers and your loyalty is so very appreciated. Every moment in our busy lives is precious and I am so grateful for the time we spend together… French Essence is my passion.. and my love of all things French only burns brighter… I know that it is your enthusiasm and shared devotion to France that makes this happen…

I wish you all a very merry Christmas,  and a stunning New Year… good health, happiness… and joy… lots and lots of joy…

Much love to you all, Vicki
