Welcome to my blog. My name’s Hilda (it’s actually Hil, but I acquired the name Hilda somewhere along the way) and most days I vive le rêve in the sunny south of France where I spend much of my time knitting…

For the last couple of years, we’ve followed the travels of our son and daughter-in-law via Emma’s blog, primarily written to keep her Nanny Dee up to speed with their adventures. Having enjoyed them (shared with some of our friends too), I thought it only right to return the compliment. So, as a newbie to all this, I hope that I don’t disappoint…
