http://villagedevaux.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-ballad-of-tears-not-pleasures-ballad.html
Sunday, 9 February 2014. A Ballad of Tears not Pleasures, A Ballad of Pleasures not Tears. Village de Vaux is being sold. We don't walk together anymore at this house. Maybe in the future we may walk together as friends. Through joy and sorrow, love and pain, we came to France to have things to do and people to see and places to go to. Sometimes it happened and sometimes it did not. I have made mistakes and so has he. Posted by Sweetpea in France. A Voyage of a Tug WA2. Captain Sensible and His Blog.

To June ~ Village de Vaux
http://villagedevaux.blogspot.com/2011/06/to-june.html
Thursday, 2 June 2011. The wind has been blowing so much that doors bang unless propped open. Then dust comes in so we have to open and close each door. My house has many doors. The driving wind is driving us mad! I would detest living anywhere near the Mistral. The wind is a sign that the weather is to change and rain is forecast! Posted by Sweetpea in France. 3 June 2011 at 02:00. I know what you mean! We noticed that the wind dropped at about 8pm last night, and today is much calmer. I like this one:.

Stag Beetles ~ Village de Vaux
http://villagedevaux.blogspot.com/2011/06/stag-beetles.html
Friday, 10 June 2011. Marvellous, magnificent beasts. On Wednesday at Angles sur L'Anglin there was a beautiful Stag Beetle trapped by himself into a large builder's bucket and his glossy back was dusty. After a photo shoot he was let free and attempted to bury himself under a log. I let him be. They have marvellous antlers which when the beetle marches forward hold together as if locked into position. It reminded me of a Roman soldier, strong, determined, ready to march many miles. With thanks to the BBC.

Wednesday, 1 January 2014. 2014 New beginnings with closure of almost a lifetime. Since two years ago when this blog ended and for many a year before that, there has and had been physical, mental and emotional upheaval, melodrama and ill-health one episode on top of another. I never faced up to that! I often camouflaged my own truths. I even told lies! Sometimes, one couldn't see or feel where the wound was! So how could one heal? It had a greater impact than I ever realised. I was bereft when I move...

Sunday, 29 May 2011. 5 little swallows sitting in the porch. I can't open the kitchen door but will have to sometime soon.

In June ~ Village de Vaux
http://villagedevaux.blogspot.com/2011/05/in-june.html
Monday, 23 May 2011. I change my tune. The cuckoo has commenced its garbled warblings of. Cuck cuck, cuck cuck, cuck cooooooooooooooooooooo. We're not yet in June. Though it feels like August. In the heat of the sun. Gin and tonic a must. Sun bares teeth upon golden skin causing us to seek shade. As bright light make us squint to see to the end of the field. All evening and listen to the songs of the wild. Meanwhile a bedroom window is open for me to listen and hear. June will change my tune.
