End of Limoux Carnival and end of Georges
Last day of Limoux carnival.
Some fairly random snaps... it was Etiennes first carnival and sad to say, the noise of the band upset him. He's probably a music lover.
It was a jolly affair with some amusing spectacles. We got out just before the rain kicked back in.
Back at the ranch, I bunged on the TV to see the news and to my astonishment, there was Georges Pierru. It seems that he did kill his wifes' lover, strangling him before hanging him as if it was a suicide, see posts passim. Still find this hard to believe and was too surprised to follow the programme, which I'd come onto half-way through anyway. Helene Marty - estate agent goddess - was interviewed (he owed loads of rent) and pictures of our lovely town featured. Scottish Daves house was there as Georges lived in the house next door. An art agent lady was interviewed saying that she had begun by liking Georges' painting but ... she had some sort of personal problem with him though really she meant his work was patchy.
The programme concluded by saying that Georges will spend the rest of his life in prison. Let us hope that there will be a successful appeal.
------------ so sad, for everyone concerned.
Snapped this off the tele - Georges and wife plus the allegedly murdered lover.
