If you’re in Provence, you will probably have already bought your little pack of seeds to plant today to mark the feast of 
Saint Barbara, and hopefully with some warmth and sunshine, they will be ready for Christmas.
The local saying is: Quand le blé va bien, tout va bien.
Mine last year was a bit straggly, surviving being in my hand luggage and then a grey English window-sill.
It’s a nice custom though and a special little piece of Provence for the Christmas Eve table.
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.
