The first Himantoglossum Hircinum of the season that I've spotted, a cheering start to yesterday which was, frankly, exhausting. Began at the vide grenier in Roquetaillade which was brilliant - loads of stuff running up and down loads of village roads, strong sun and great good humour, coffee and cake in the village school (which has its full complement of children and still doesn't have hot water or indoor toilets. Harden 'em up.)
Ambling off to find an open supermarket to feed our guests, it being the Ascension and everything closed, when Kat rang to ask where we were- she and Richard had opened their galleries at 10.00 am and the art loving public were arriving. I thought we opened at 6.oopm for the party...
Here's Pol assembling the banner -
Many thanks to everyone who came. Apropos, our mayor sent his apologies - his son was in a car accident in Brittany and is alive (allelujia) George has gone to be with him, of course. Everyone here concerned and sending best wishes.
Margaret and John are back - tales of cancelled boats and other chaos, without which life in the Languedoc would be very dull! They both look in fine good form.
