 Unexpected Christmas gift for a village in the Aude: an anonymous person donates €500,000 to the commune - lindependant.fr

This article in the Independent has come up pre-translated but the gist is clear: one quarter of the towns' budget has been given to the mayor by an anon donor. Pas mal! Strings? - Read the article. Sweet really.

Heres Rennes le chateau this morning, lurching out of the mist.... and the back wall of our courtyard. Everywhere quiet. For the moment. 

Happy festives, all! Keep safe of course, but enjoy the time.
