Playing out plus


 I can’t tell you how good it feels to have Big Dave & Shan back in La Tranche. Essex in Trenchtown back together again!

We had a lovely housewarming lunch chez Geraldine & Rémi (far left) at their new holiday apartment, accompanied by friends & family

Your faithful blogger with the OTHER Martine (Geraldine’s Maman)

Tine sandwiched between Geraldine and moi

Matt & Geraldine: their friendship goes way back 25 years!

After touring round the unfinished complex we had a last view of their apartment as guests tidy up

Meanwhile back at home we’ve let the last few artichokes flower. You really see their link to the thistle family, but have you noticed the iridescent beetles making the most of the pollen (presumably)?

Just to show that it’s not always perfect weather here…

…when it rains, it rains!

I captured this on video on the main town square the other evening. As you can see there was nearly a nasty accident.
