Peaceful Holidays

I spend a week in a very small place in Lorraine, after a week in Paris. The contrast between the biggest french city and the very quiet village with only three hundred people is quite pleasant.

In this part of the country, the big deal, at this period of year, is the picking of mirabelles, a golden and very sweet plum. In the orchard in the back of my great parents' house, we have a few mirabelliers and the plums are now perfect.

The weather is great and I spend the afternoons by reading in the orchard a large book about Marcus Aurelius philosophy. This reading suits remarkably well to this place.

Walking, talking, reading, cooking. Happiness is simple, in a way.
