Welcome to all of you out there who might be interested to know about life chez nous. Hopefully, some of you will have happy memories of the house and the village and for those of our friends who have not yet made it over here, perhaps this blog will show them what they are missing! Click on the photos to enlarge them and please feel free to comment. A first name would be great so we're not left wondering who "anonymous" is! À bientôt et bonne navigation!

Mairie Day
Another early start for a Sunday; this time Christian had official duties to commemorate all those who were deported from France during the 2nd world war. There was a wreath laying ceremony in both villages and both were followed by "un vin d'honneur". As it was fine in the afternoon we spent a little time on the allotment before getting changed to go to a concert as official guests!The programme consisted of pieces composed by Haydn, Mozart and Schubert and played by a string quartet in the church. Afterwards there was......? right first time, un apéritif during which the musicians played something quite different, "Pennies from Heaven". As it was on the way home, Michel, Joëlle, Michelle, Jean-Jacques, Christian and I stopped off at the auberge for something to eat. Thus ended a day well filled.
