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.

December 2020
It might happen any minute now
Enabling the magic to reach beyond our p’tit domaine
An incompatibility with family life
The soft arms of that common heart
Improved into something more sustainable
The best being a foreclosed enemy of the good
Magic is what you create by and for yourself
Paroxysmally preaching to the already converted
For its beauty to behold and bequeath
Simply commemorate this special moment of the annual cycle
Homage to a lust for life
The irrelevance of these splurges of my old pain
If only we lived in the perfect world
A Theatre Piece Sprung From Our Own Imagination
The Merrymaking Of The Christmas-like Revelries
An Intrinsic Inducement To Be Roughly Ridiculed
New pathways to explore and enchantments to devour
There’s just too much to behold in life
A house build on true love
Honor Its Medicinal Values By Naming It Toute Saine
The Newest Member Of The Family
We’re not out of the woods yet
One has to be in awe of their unbreakable chirpiness
Must have endorsement of the old stones
Triggered by the colorful spectacle of these poisonous beauties
It’s the presence of impetuous new life
Daily Reality, With Or Without Its Magic
Being an adorable puppy is clearly not enough

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.
