plighting the throth

Sue and John Marshall did the decent thing yesterday and got married at St Ferriol - the mayor did a sterling job and in charming English thanked them for living in his commune. He got a round of applause.

 Afterwards their friends and families were treated to a joyful bun-fight at le poulet  bicyclette where Sebastian and staff ran round like crazy to ensure we were well fed and watered, despite the changeable weather.  Bravo!
There was speechifying and jolly entertaining too.

Stan and Eddie did the music  ---- for a while they were playing and sheltering under a large umbrella in the rain, above the lake.
I took them drinks and was thus privileged to sit next to them while they played a hauntingly beautiful version of Waterfall- [May this be Love] listening to the water around and below us - a memory which is lodged in me now.
Tried to find a you tube of Hendrix playing it but there are only covers on line and Stan's was better than any of them.

So, cheers, John and Sue!! and here's to many years of joy and contentment together. See you at lunch today.
