A sweet taste of France

If it’s Friday (or even Saturday), it must be France … The Promise of Provence now has a book trailer!

Lunch with Journeywoman!

Some days are a little more special than others and yesterday was one of those! Some people you meet are a little more special than others and the woman I met yesterday was indeed one of those! Evelyn Hannon, aka Journeywoman, and I spent a couple of hours  yesterday chatting over a light lunch we
