When two giants occupy a tiny cottage with eye-catching pink shutters, surrounded by vivacious founts of enchantment, there’s bound to be some enthralling stories behind.
On this digital reflection of our French lives I write about the bewildered wonders that befell us when we chose to embrace a less demanding yet more challenging lifestyle, mainly by downsizing and keeping our choices and their ensued options as rudimentary as possible, swapping various rat-races for an everyday poetry that harks back to our past as much as to an optimistic future.

November 2020
Let it dissipate cheerfully instead by calling it on its value
A brave new world has been on my mind
The way to overcome them is to use your wits
Our new lives would be sculpted out of dreams and fantasies
Intuitively knowing it’s better to try despite all inevitability
Two weeks of lovely new pet-parenthood
It’s never blunting but contrast that comforts me unrivaled
Get accustomed to this stripped down life
Put the horror aside and focus on its beauty instead
It has lost none of its beauty or intensity
Heart for the beauty and magic that surrounds us
An Outstanding Interest In Titillating Restoratives
Benevolent neutrality keeps me safe in the middle
To appreciate being an enduring apprentice
It’s Essence Is A Higher Science To Begin With
One of the dumbest and most dangerous frivolities imaginable
Confirming love is so much more than just a feeling
A value never to be underestimated
First impression of the gents and giants of Les Pierres
When there are more welcoming wonders in the here and now
I welcome this new and already mutual obsession
Having a mother named Love helps gloriously
There’s no other way to secure his stability of character
Instinctively Committing To The Foreverness Of The Purchase
Totally Speechless By So Much Not Unexpected Chaos
Maybe because this snob just isn’t wired that way
All of this is wonderful news to me
No One Could Have Missed This Capital Letter Pink

Attempting to make our lives sustainable is more than a personal choice and has gradually lead to a multitude of decisions we have never even thought of before.
On this website we share what works for us, or woefully no longer works, obviously without claiming the same for you.
We hope that our journey towards a supplementary comprehensive celebration of nature’s beauty might just clear a pathway forward for you too, perhaps challenges a revealing reconsideration, or simply provides for an equally indispensable diversion.
Can we change the world through food? We believe we can and we support Slow Food, a global movement of local communities and activists across more than 160 countries. Together we defend cultural and biological diversity, promote food education and the transfer of traditional knowledge and skills.
