Sue Carter sent a link to her blog which starts with a sunset in Segala. I know she lives in Tarn and Garonne but I know there is a Segala in the Lot and Aveyron and also one in the Tarn. So I was interested to what the meaning of ''Segala '' was and it appears to mean ''fields of grain'' There is often another meaning which someone else may supply. It is a bit like our name ''Mas del Sol'' which we take the Spanish view of '' house of the sun'' as we are often in the sun with the brouillard down below in the river valley. You pays your money and you takes your choice on these things.

Jill Spearman says as Sue
'Segala' comes from the word
'seigle', French for rye, and it refers to the fact that the area known as
le Segala in the Tarn was suitable only for growing rye, being too cold and
exposed and the soil not right for wheat or other kinds of grain.
