New Years
Happy new years to you and yours. May your year be filled with happiness and joy. May life be kind and may love overflow. May passion and purpose abound. May wishes come to pass and may needs be found fulfilled. May wisdom flow like wine and may your heart be full. These are my resolutions for the year to come for each and all.
Day 10
Off to see the Romans. There is an old ruin about a 10 min bus ride inland. You can see the baths as well as a amphitheater. Next building over is he Matisse gallery. I enjoyed about 5% of what they called art. The rest was just crap. After enjoying all the history a sandwich was needed and some chocolate.

They even speak there own form of wonky fretalian. Or so I'll call it. Below are a few pictures of what was found there.

Boxing Day & Day 7
I put these days together cause well on Boxing Day there was nothing to report. Spent the day just being and not doing. Today however went to the gallery next door to the house. They have a very small collection of mixed art. Some romantic, some religious, some modern. It's an odd place. Below is a picture of said gallery.

Christmas
Well another Christmas has come and gone. Wishing everyone the most joyous Christmas. I thought I would miss all the gifts and mayhem off the season but I have to say the joy in spending a day thinking about nothing more then what Christmas is really about and my baby chickens cooking time has been great. Walked up to the remains of an old chateau today. Enjoyed the sun, maybe some wine and family. Merry Christmas one and all.

Day 26
I'm leaving on a jet plane. I don't know when I'll be back again. So off to Nice, France I go. Funny thing is that I saw more Louis Vuitton in 5 mins at the Nice airport then I did the whole month I was in London. Talk about buying local gone mad. So anywho went for some Italian food and will start plotting out my next moves tonight.
