After a somewhat overly long gestation period on both counts, we are thrilled to announce the fruition of two projects that are dear to our hearts and inextricably linked.
THE FIRST is the publication of Ruth’s book, ‘Cherries from Chauvet’s Orchard’. A memoir that tells the story of the birth of Postcard from Provence, our life in France, the life of the paintings after they leave us (with contributions from many of you), and our own journey towards making a family.
…AND THE SECOND is that our wait for a child is over. We leave on Wednesday for Mali, in West Africa, to pick up our son, Louis Joseph. He was born on October the 12th 2010 and is being looked after in a private orphanage in Bamako. We do not know much except his age (6 months) but we are told he smiles a lot and that his primary emotion on meeting new people is one of joy—bodes well! We will stay in Mali for ten days or so and then we will bring him home to our tumbledown house in Provence, just in time for some puréed cherries.
‘Cherries from Chauvet’s Orchard’ will be available on the 1st June from Adeleide to Anchorage, Tijuana to Timbuctoo, as a mass-market paperback and Kindle ebook (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Chapters and all major retailers for $16.95/ €11.95/£10.95 paperback and sub ten dollars for the Kindle version). You can see a preview of the book here:

Meanwhile, however, in the Hameau des Couguieux, we are producing a special edition, which will help raise funds for the orphanage in Bamako.
