“My name is Graham Welch and I am a Francophile. This blog is a celebration of all things French – from France’s cuisine to its culture, from its people to its places. I intend to update it each day for a year, starting on 1 January 2014.”

BLOG: A YEAR IN PERIGORD

Lighting up Lyon and champagne for toasters
Cassoulet, confit, and camembert roasters
Provençal pleasures all tied up with strings
This is a blog of my favorite things.

I was born  to Irish parents living in England but spent most of my early life in Ireland. After years of teaching and traveling – everywhere but South America – i settled in Singapore and live here with my Malay family

Slums bulldozed clear as the afternoon passes
Tropical air as slow as molasses
Poetry lifting my heart with sure wings
This is a blog of my favorite things

Living on the French Riviera ~ Following your dream

BLOG: 24/7 in France

Matisse in Vence and Christmas in Nice
Fashions and fêtes and stuffed foie gras geese
Events and expats, and secrets of kings
This is a blog of my favorite things

When my drain clogs
When the sky fogs
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite blogs
And then I don’t feel so bad!
