Pedal Power

The "Tour de France" came to Perpignan and Christian went off to see it with Jesper, a Danish friend who provides outside broadcast facilities to tv companies. Off already to a meeting, our intrepid sports- lover will write a few words about it when he has a moment so watch this space ..........
In the meantime, I went to the new exhibition in the village with Margaret. Interesting, cork on glass and reconisably Scandinavian without knowing that the artist is Swedish but too expensive for your Mr et Madame Machin's pocket.
Change of gear in the evening for a meeting with a couple wanting to set up a refuge for women in "difficult" situations. There was heavy Catholic church presence and it was all about 40 years behind the times. The things that femminists fought for and achieved are very much taken for granted these days elsewhere though a lot of it seems to have passed France by. I don't think that it's just the case in this corner, by the way. Christian didn't have to worry, I'm not going to get involved.
