It was not the most relaxing trip back to Provence

Julie Whitmarsh

Contributor blog post by Vaucluse Dreamer:

It’s nine (9) weeks since I last left the house in Provence and returned to the UK. Andy has been down since & our eldest has spent the last month there pottering about improving his French and his Strava times at the same time.

It’s felt as if I’ve been counting down the days for the last 9 weeks, looking forward to returning for the extended summer…Continue reading here for Julie’s description of her return trip to Provence. It was a journey heavily sprinkled with stress-points and near misses. She made it and even had a chance to enjoy the wafting scent of fresh lavender on her drive to their house.

Julie Whitmarsh

Julie and her husband Andy started visiting the Vaucluse area 25 years ago & over the years have increased the amount of time they spend there with their growing family. She has a deep affection for the area, finding it is a great place to visit, where the whole family can relax and enjoy time together.

She longs for the day when she can ‘up-sticks’ from her home on Dartmoor & relocate to the Luberon and spend her days cycling, walking, visiting markets & brocante fairs and of course enjoying the local food and drink.

Her blog VaucluseDreamer gives her a space to highlight some of her favourite things about the area from places to visit to particular activities that she and her family all enjoy.

She hopes one day it will be a place where she can share the process of renovating a house in France, but at the moment that will have to wait.
