Day at the sea

 Yesterdays weather being totally glorious, Bob drove us to La Franqui, through the gorges - it's been a while since we've done the drive and it was breathtaking. La Franqui was as sweet as ever, by the afternoon littered with young persons inflating kites and skimming over waves and into the sky, though we had the place to ourselves in the morning.

Back in Esperaza, more excitement; the house once inhabited by the towns' alleged murderer, Georges (see entries passim, esp March 22 2015) which has been empty since he received his prison sentence for life, is being painted!! What can this mean? Normally its the precursor to selling the place...

other excitements are the hotting-up of the election campaign. Since us Brits can not longer vote nor have any control over how our taxes are spent, it does not really concern us (grrrrr)  but our mayor Georges Reverte has published an answer to the criticisms of the team fronted by Jean Fournier, quite forcefully. One significant element is the change of name of the new arts centre to the Maison des Arts et de l'Artisanat, thereby neatly side-stepping the elitist element that had been seen as inherent.

Ha!
