After the shopping is done and the coffee has been enjoyed we are ready for the picnic.

Our picnics are about relaxing, gossiping, horoscopes and of course good food…but the relaxing is the key.

Each year the location may change but, the slow relaxing ambiance of the south is always the same.

As we enjoy our time together…Claudine will always say “On est bien les filles.” (Girls, we are good here)…which I translate as “How lucky are we!”.

As you can see, there is nothing difficult about our French picnic.

And it’s true “On est bien.” (We are very lucky!).

The last three images on the post were taken by Mapie with my Point and Shoot and the film below by Claudine with the same camera!  They are beautiful!!!  Thanks girls!

Enjoy!
