Because I am a firm believer in only writing when I really feel like writing, and especially only when I feel like I have something to say.

Dear Friends I have heard so much about the “Chateau de Villé” for years now from my boyfriends family and have always wanted to visit. Such historic castles scatter the French countryside, some of them almost standing still in time, from when the soldiers abandoned them after WWII. I was so lucky to be able […]
