A picture’s worth a thousand words.
This is Meredith’s lovely montage.
She not only takes great photos but she puts them together beautifully to tell many stories on the way.
Shows more summer than winter–no harm in whetting the appetite though…!
A bit more than “A day in the life of…” !

It gives a wonderful joyful peek into your world, countryside is gorgeous as is the food. I agree about the photographs, oh and that sunflower field, the cheeses,the market, the geese the music. FAB slide show to start my morning on this grey dull day in Yellow Springs, Ohio 🙂

What a pleasant surprise to start my morning. Thank you both for sharing yor private life with the world. I use your cookbook several times a week and thoroughly enjoy it. Looking forward to the next cookbook. While I know everyone has difficulties and challenges, this looks so peaceful and serene. Thanks again.
Dear Robin,Fully agree with the saying …a picture says more then a thousend words for sure for me as a collector of filmstar postcards, but also the pen is mightier than the sword (lol) and you are a very good writer Robin!
Yes saw them very nice, I prefer the ones with you and the ones with the cats in and you have many good!
Nice garden by the way.Saw also the filming on youtube of the garden party (of the book) very good done.Merdith takes very good pictures.Any news of the Church neighbor? Hughs, Chantal x.

Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely!
What a marvellous montage. Was it Charles Trenet singing? I have a CD of his music, it’s wonderful.
The inimitable M. Trenet–yes.

I will use a Dutch saying: Leven als God in Frankrijk (Living as God in France).
Tell Meredith I love her pictures!
You are looking forward for the summer I suppose?

Lovely countryside and delicious food. Very enjoyable to watch and also loved the music. Many thanks.
Faith.
To me these wonderful pictures of the country seen so many decades ago, the historical buildings, the smiling happy faces, the mouth watering dishes and… the pets are sheer bliss – une nostalgie puresang. I’ll cherish this video. You are an artist Meredith. Thank you! And may you both stay happy au pays de Languedoc for many years to come
Boy, I can’t wait to retire!!! 🙂
Hi Robin,
I’ve been following you great site for sometime but in the background. Very enjoyable in all it’s aspects.
I love Meredith’s montage. It’s something I have thought of doing myself for some while to record our great times in our village in the Limousin.
So it has raised a question. Not being the greatest in modern technology, but a quick learner when pointed in the right direction, can you tell me what programme Meredith uses to make the montage.
If I can put together a website, albeit slowly, then I’d love to get started on another project.
Keep up the good work it brightens my day in the midst of grey days.
Hi Pip,
Meredith here. I’m using an Apple iMac (brand new, as the old one crashed recently), using iPhoto.
It’s a very simple process of choosing the photos, putting them in an album, arranging them in the order you wish
and selecting “slide show”. Then you have options for adding music and choosing the dissolves (I chose random!).
You may not be using an Apple, of course. I recommend googling your question. Now there are video tutorials online that explain what to do step by step.
Here’s an example which I used for my Mac: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-create-iphoto-slideshows-on-your-mac.html
Good luck!
Many thanks Meredith. I’m not using an Apple but if the principle is as easy as it sounds I will do some googling and give it a go.
If it turns out half as good as yours I’ll be chuffed.
