Off we set at 8.30 on the bus organised by the mairie. There were 15,000 people (the police said 10,000 ~ it's the same the world over) on the demo which wound its way around Perpignan. A great atmosphere with lots of Catalan music and human towers
My horned tartan hat (thanks Ray and Paul) went down a bundle and I was even interviewed by French national telly. I'll let you know if they use it. There was not much of a (visible) police presence and no trouble. Let's hope that it does some good as we certainly don't want these high tension powerlines here. Photos to follow. Arrived back and had a late lunch with Jean-Jacques, Michelle, Joëlle and Michel at one of the village restaurants; then it was home for Christian to have a wee snoozette before going out to leaflet. This evening we were invited to Diana's for dinner but ended up eating in the other village restaurant where we found 9 other Brits! Now it's time for bed and a long lie tomorrow.
