I have just entered the world of the blogosphere and am trying to make mine much more interesting!<br />Why indeed should a 50 something lady NOT move to France?! I am 62 and adventuring in the Med this summer, you don't know of anyone who needs an energetic "Jenny Anything" to help them for a couple of weeks in July do you? I have been let down by a host and now have a gap to fill in my itinerary! Help anyone!<br />Great blog, great lifestyle, go for it:)<br />Morag<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637743185606413923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-57870776985155845542013-05-11T09:44:25.458+02:002013-05-11T09:44:25.458+02:00Hi, Just clicked on the link to your blog from &qu...Hi, Just clicked on the link to your blog from "finding me".

But, I’ll tell you we have stronger winds here sometimes. Just last Thursday a strong wind came from Alabama and a house was swept off its base, destroyed 2 cars and landed in pieces in a field nearby. Well I guess it was a little tornado – but we get quite a few here in Georgia.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-18136630087615350312013-04-13T12:19:24.493+02:002013-04-13T12:19:24.493+02:00I have been in Provence during the Minstral and fe...I have been in Provence during the Minstral and feel like some of that craziness stayed with me.

While planning our trip for March I read about the nasty Mistral, how it blows up fast. Living in “Tornado Alley” and understanding the danger of high winds I didn’t want to get caught out in this which is exactly what happened. We were driving from Nice to Avignon and stopped at one of the small towns to visit a church. That is where we met your famous Mistral! Thanks goodness is was of the one day variety. Nothing to spoil a beautiful trip! Hope you get lucky and those steaks end up on that grill! <br />Hope your week is beautiful......<br /><br />~Emily<br />The French HutchThe French Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028597144785773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-21941236040679320792013-04-01T08:08:19.747+02:002013-04-01T08:08:19.747+02:00I hope you get that bike! xI hope you get that bike! xSara Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058056977783867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-60191833120289522252013-03-31T19:26:25.321+02:002013-03-31T19:26:25.321+02:00We get a lot of wind here too in Montpellier, but ...We get a lot of wind here too in Montpellier, but with nothing like the intensity of the Mistral in Provence.

Here, in SW France we don't have a mistral, but we do get some mighty winds, and our houses are built with their backs to the direction (North) of them. We were going to open up a window in the north facing wall to make a kitchen door, but after a bout of severe winds decided that it was not a good idea, and that the original builders knew what they were doing when they made the entire wall virtually windowless. But we have never had anything 'handy' come our way as in your BBQ! All we do is lose tarpaulins!

Maybe your neighbor took in his/her plants before the Mistral built up to its full force. I can't wait to move to Provence and experience all of this first hand.
