Thyme for Provence Neal Atherton

"Like sitting with a friend telling you about his trip" Goodreads"Descriptions were awesome" Goodreads "Lovely descriptions and atmospheric moments" Goodreads"Real to life and not just a travelog" Amazon US Verified
This is an affectionate account of our French travels in Provence - meeting so many remarkable (and eccentric) people and places over a 20 year period travelling by car from the North of England. Is it a guide book? Well, the people and places are there but I really want to inspire you to make your own journey and treasure this gorgeous region of breathtaking scenery and the finest food and wine. If not, then be entertained from your armchair and let your imagination take you to the lavender fields in a delightful summer read. Enjoy until we can travel again. PLEASE 'LOOK INSIDE' for the first part of the book: 'Monsieur, - you are hot from the journey, oui?'I could only agree that I was indeed the very picture of the Englishman in the noonday sun. She broke away from watering her extensive and beautiful enclosed garden.'I will cool you down'Turning the hose on my fully clothed self she most certainly did that.

I enjoyed this book so very much. As I read it, I felt like I was sitting with a friend and he was telling me about his trip. The descriptions of the countryside were awesome only outdone by the ones about the food I recommend it and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
