2 more days of hard work to go before a week of chill out on the beach at Gruissan Plage, South of France..... And couting!
Saturday night and a debut performance for Ailes de Pappillon - we will improve - but such a great experience. A special thanks to Ralph a fab german guy who sang and played brilliantly and let us sing and play with hime until the wee hours.... great fun singing Price, Tag, Dancing Queen, Killing me Softly.... and of course an funny variation of Highway to hell! 2.30am and I finally fell into bed - such fun!  to be repeated sooon.....
Life never ceases to be full and full of great moments....yoga in my garden on Thursday evening was a pure delight was some great yoginis, the sounds of Yoga Sol and album brought together by Shiva Rea with a great Summer Time version, nature's evening harmony with evening birdsong and the children running around the garden with innoncence flying in their hair! Friday and a fabulous bike ride in the Ardeche mountains, a swim in the pool to cool down from the ever increasing heat here, a rehearsal full of excited girls dancing to Its Not About the Money and a gently evening with the kids and the neighbours children and Over the Hedge. Juggling that and yoga practise, cleaning gites, booking for new weeks to come and the new web site....life is very far from being calm and dull. And tonight for the first time I am singing in my newly formed band Ailes de Papillon with Nick at Cafe Flo in St Pierreville....ooof!!!! I am certainly blessed with some fabulous activities and a full age
Beautiful time with my girls and their papa yesterday at the beach in St Sauveur - thank God for chill out moments like those. True pleasure... a real moment to cherish! Here's to many more namaste
13th August 2012 I totally love where I live but sometimes I smply forget to look around me and REALLY appreciate it. So the last few days I have tried to do just that practising yoga outside and thoroughly enjoying the deep blue skies, the heavenly clouds, the clean air. I have been out on my road bike and really taken in the views (see the photo opposite), I have been out running and breathed in the Summer air, and I have spent time with the kids in the garden and pool..... we even managed to fit in a photo session for a kids yoga document I have wanted to put together for some time (again see the photo of my nephew and daughter doing some fab back bends and meditation!). Here in France we are now about 6 weeks in to the LONG holidays and actually not too bad.... a craft session today in the courtyard resulting in some great frames decorated in sparkles and colours and tomorrow we head to the river for some beach side yoga, a picnic followed by dancing and music.....bring on the r
Gosh when was the last time I posted some messages so today 8th August 2012 its hot and sticky, the kids are at the pool shouting with delight and I am about to join them before some yoga fun in the garden. Juggling the school holidays is always tricky and no more so than when you are trying to work as well but I am at the very least trying to be there for the kids when it matters. Yogic life continues and each day I find that time to go and sit, practise and be at one with myself and the world around me. My home is a very special place and the place I live in during the Summer an incredibly beautiful space to deeply enjoy nature.....

I will be posting a little more regularly from now on in for those who read this.... the next three weeks are going to be wonderful with lots of yoga things afoot - a trip to Chamonix for the Lole Yoga mee
