“ So I walk for an hour or so, think about what I’m going to write in the morning, come back have a little breakfast and I’m usually at the desk by a quarter to nine and I work without interruption until one o’clock. Then I stop and the rest of the day is devoted to lunch… and research in the afternoon that may be going to a winery or Arles or working in the garden. Then I look at what I wrote in the morning and wince and it’s time to go out for dinner or have friends in for dinner—it’s a very quiet life. I find it very agreeable. ”

Peter Mayle lives the life I want to eventually have.
