Notes from the coast.
One essay a month about the coast, the weather, the houses, and the people who fix things. Never about us.

What the mistral does to a shutter

Menton’s trees fruit twice, and the second crop is the one worth waiting for.

An hour from the sea, a different season
Why we keep one house in the snow, and how it changes a summer on the coast.
