Mr. Wind
This commercial is old--it's from 2007--but since Provence is in the grips of the vent du sud, it's the perfect time to share it. (As opposed to the mistral, which blows north to south and leaves blue skies, the vent du sud blows in the other direction, bringing clouds and usually rain.) Anyway, the commercial is funny and poignant and very well done....definitely a classic. I love Mr. Wind, his hat and his accent. Enjoy!

This is great Julie. I love good commercials. And, in fact, it has everything to do with Provence. We're on day two of a mistral and the soil is blowing out of my pots and my terrace looks like a farm field. So, according to mistral rules, either tomorrow will be the last day or we'll have to wait four more for this to blow over.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this Julie. And it did make me smile. Thanks for sharing it with your followers.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Such a treat with my coffee this morning, as Mr. Wind is rattling my front door!
ReplyDeleteHilarious ad. Thanks for sharing. I linked to it on my Facebook page. I think these winds are from the east so that means it's not a mistral. About as irritating, though.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Mr. Wind and never saw it before. Thanks for sharing!

This is too funny! I think Mr. Wind has been on my terrace knocking off my plants as well...hope the mistral blows us some clear skies soon! xx
ReplyDeleteYes, this is wonderful! I loved it.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of wind here, too, but I have accepted it.
The Mr Wind video is wonderful, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I *love* this clip. It always makes me laugh. But it also makes me a little sad.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I just arrived home to Texas on Tuesday from Arles and the Provence area. We experienced the wind 1st hand. I thought I would not be effected since I grew up in South Texas along the gulf coast. Our toll ticket for A9 blew right out the car door when we stopped to get gasoline! How fast was it blowing last week.
