Carol Drinkwater: A Year in Provence

Carol shares her love of Provence in the South of France where she's lived for the last 35 years with her husband, Michel.

Carol and Michel appreciate family values with their nephew Marvin as they use his skills to conduct an experiment with music.

Carol reveals some of the sources of inspiration that feed her writing, and she's inspired to pursue her latest idea for a zesty new novel.

Carol makes a trip to Grasse, the perfume capital of France, where she handpicks sweet and delicate jasmine flowers to create her own fragrance.

Carol visits the wilds of Camargue at harvest time, seeing the birds and horses before returning home to bring in the year's olive harvest.
