Ashley Tinker is a Canadian now living in Provence. Back when she was aged 19 she was at art school in Italy and took a mini "vacances" in the south of France where she met her partner Englishman Robin as they were both staying in the same hostel.

Many years and a long-distance relationship later, they finally settled back in France together. Initially they became guardians of a run-down château but eventually bought and renovated a little cottage and now they're in the process of renovating a barn on a property in a village near St Rémy-de-Provence. 

Ashley loves the lifestyle in Provence. The weather, the values, the history, the food and also the fresh seasonal produce. Eating by the seasons was a learning curve for Ashley but a way of life she now loves! The slow life of Provence has definitely captured her heart!

I have travelled and spent time in Provence both alone and with my husband Paul. My memories of the region are so beautiful and speaking to Ashley just made me want to get back there all the more quickly. 

Sigh...
