Update

We walked down to the market mid-morning and saw that there were a few more stalls - those of you who know La Tranche would be staggered how small the market is though at this time of year! However more and more shops (and M's old bar!) are opening. The hibernation period is nearly over.

It's local election time next month and YES I have a vote. They were out in force in the market with their leaflets. As JP is a member of one of the parties vying for election I don't think we have much choice. The other week we went to a meeting to hear his 'team'. Three hours later we returned home to eat. Politicians are the same the world over, methinks!

Photos 1, 2, and 3 show some of our plantations - cabbage, caulie and onions & raddish. We bought some potatoes yesterday to go in next month, plus some strawberry plants - can't wait for those!

The last photo was taken on Thursday to show that the sand IS being deposited again. I'm sure many of you will recognise l'Equipage and l'Equinoxe. Hopefully by summer the sand will be right up to the 'terrace' again.

BFG update - if you remember my three aims on moving here were Biking, eating Fish and Gardening. Well, as Meatloaf said, "Two out of three ain't bad". Sadly I'm still not a fish fan - love them swimming around, but not on my plate. Having said that I HAVE eaten anything served to me. Trouble is everyone knows I don't really like fish so they don't serve it!! Let's see what happens when they read this post on the blog!!
