A Nightingale sang.....

....but not in Berkeley Square.

Here is just a little (aural) glimpse of some of the loveliness of the valley below Roquetaillade that we are lucky enough to experience every day.



Sometimes, when we have stopped our daily travail for a relaxing bit of lunch on the terrasse, it is very hard to pull ourselves away from just sitting and looking and listening.

Despite the ups and downs of our challenging new life, I haven't experienced such a general sense of calm and well-being since...., well, actually, since I was taking Seroxat about 10 years ago, to deal with work-induced stress!! I'm anticipating that this current approach to raising Seratonin levels won't be accompanied by unpleasant or harmful side effects, (an increased risk of suicide seems exceedingly unlikely).
