Provence - a little ray of sunshine

It's raining in Sydney again and has not stopped all day. 
 So looking forward to some sunshine. 

 In the meantime this photo Barb took recently brings back memories of sunnier times in Provence - one of my favourite places in France.

It doesn't just remind me of driving on these lovely roads, under the dapple of plane trees - but also the scent of lavender and rosemary,  tiny black olives bursting in my mouth,  pine needles and thyme crushed underfoot, chilled rose, tangy chevre with tapenade, the markets, hilltop villages and the white and grey limestone of the Alpilles.

That helps blow the rain clouds away.
