How do you sum up a week that includes summer markets, everyday observations, a few chuckles, and the little moments that make life in the South so enjoyable?
Figues, Anglais et amandes 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Summer isn’t a season. It’s figs, almonds and good stories.

No recap for ten days, but the sky’s still keeping its schedule better than I am.

June in the rearview mirror 🇬🇧🇫🇷
Sold the car, kept the calendar on paper, and somehow squeezed a birthday, Le Mans, a nougat-fueled family reunion, and the season’s first proper beach days into 30 short days — June went out swinging, and July’s already raising a glass to top it. Click in for the full, slightly sunburnt recap.

The week that was 26/2026 🇬🇧🇫🇷
What do you do when it’s 40°C in Carcassonne, your best friends are visiting, the pool is warm, the peaches are perfect, and the only responsible decision you make all week is going to bed before 3am — and even that one fails? You write about it, apparently.

Shaken, not bored 🇬🇧
Netflix and I have a complicated relationship. I resent the endless scrolling, the autoplay trailers, and the algorithmic nudges toward shows I will never watch. But last week, Netflix did something I grudgingly have to admire: it quietly uploaded the entire James Bond back catalogue. All 25 films. And so began the most productive week of my retirement — binge-watching 007 in strict chronological order, from Connery’s first raised eyebrow in 1962 to Craig’s final bow in 2021. I have opinions. Strong ones. And a spreadsheet.
