Happy New Year from Bolquère ⛷️ #skiing #bolquerepyrenées2000 #newyear2026


My favourite stocking filler, now put to good use ✨
These rechargeable LED lights sit on top of any bottle — perfect for lighting dining tables and they’ll be amazing in the barn 🤍 They come in warm white or white (go for warm) and are dimmable (3 settings). #domainenjc

15k afternoon cycle with 200m elevation 🚲 ☀️ Then home to enjoy the whimsical goodies I purchased in Mirepoix (mini jug & bowl, and a blue fish plate- aka my new cooking utensil rest). Looking at the sunset here, over the garden gate, absent family members are remembered as I can hear my father saying ‘no one would believe this view if you painted it’ and my mum romanticising the magic colouration of the sky: ‘the angels are cooking’. Sayings that will undoubtedly pass down through the generations🪽


Stunning morning in Mirepoix. Monday markets for the win 🙌 ☀️


The sun is finally out for winter strolls 😃 Happy birthday Grandpa Peter x

Family time 🎄


In between house jobs (watch this space…..potential tree house to be built) we managed to fit in a trip to Carcassonne castle, the seaside at Gruissan (eat at La Perle for fresh seafood as well as ice cream, crepes and waffles), and some horse riding (just in the next village- Routier). It was overcast for Gruissan, but crepes and waffles kept the kids on board! On season this area is really vibey with lots of beach clubs along the coast. I can’t wait to return in the summer for a cocktail or two. 💃


That’s a wrap. Officially end of the season. The pool has been winterised and won’t reopen until the late Spring. ❄️


Exploring Toulouse. I will definitely be back. So many shops and eateries to explore. We had time for a long lunch in the square, a little cultural trip to the cathedral, before a quick snooze back at the hotel before the late rugby match at the footie Stadium.


The idyllic setting for a relaxing getaway with friends and family #pincardel #southoffrance #limoux #alaigne


Lunch in Carcassonne, at Place Carnot. Amazing service at Le Longchamp. Highly recommend 🙌 #carcassonne #placecarnot


Cozy nights in the wine vat room 🍽️


Signs of Spring 🌸


Ski trip to Font-Romeu Pyrenees 2000 ⛷️ 🎿


Lunch at ‘Le Creneau’ inside Carcassonne Castle. Delicious food and friendly staff. We walked in, with no reservation, (6 adults, 7 children) and they were very accommodating. Please note that in peak season you would need to book. Also pictured is the entrance to Chez Christine. Another one for the list of restaurants to try here 😊 🏰 🥘 🥗
