Judy is very observant and able to express every detail in her description about people and places and Dave’s photos are brilliant.

Well done both of you.

Judy and Dave – Who would have thought all those years ago?? You are experiencing a life many of us only dream about. Flo has shared your article with me. All those years of listening to you go on and on about work paid off…your words make me feel like I am there. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes and health to both of you.

I left Europe 22 years ago to follow my beloved American husband to Buffalo, NY. While I have now adopted my new home, with getting older I am also becoming more and more melancholic about Europe. I wish i could share it with my students, my American friends and family too. You transported me to where i hope to spend half of the year when i retire. Best. Patricia Schiavone.

Wonderful writing – it makes me want to pick up my backpack and take off. There’s nothing like traveling and meeting people all over the world.! I don’t have enough years left (I’m 89) to visit so many countries I have not yet seen although I’m doing my best.

Dear Judy and Dave,
Congénies in Languedoc, Southern France awaits your return!
Our valley, La Vaunage, is beginning to discover the need to become a Transition Territory, developing local resilience to the effects of Peak oil and indeed peak nearly everything that keeps our western lifestyle in place. When the oil runs out, here will be a good place to be, where the simple things have always been, and still are, the staples of daily life. Wholesome bread, chestnut flour, good wines and grapes, fresh local organic veggies and fruit, local salt-marsh mutton and beef, solidarity and a caring community. Bring your bicycles, the Green Track is to be extended into Nîmes, with lock-up cycle stores in the city centre.

A pure delight! Judy’s musings and Dave’s photographs are close to heaven. A complete escape from the mundane realities of everyday
drudgery!

Judy’s article and wonderful mental meandering are a lovely read. It brought an emotional response from us. We have only of late started to travel and have not taken time to have such in depth memories of travel and it is pure pleasure in a category with “A Year in Provence” and sequels and we will look forward to further articles.
