Provence on our minds

Mentally we have crossed that line between remembering last year and preparing for this year's trip, the familiar landscape suddenly part of our everyday thoughts, and with our cold hesitant spring here in the northern climes, we have only to close our eyes to imagine the warmth of Provence in the spring, the flowering almond trees, the wisteria.
