The new season approaches

Suddenly everywhere seems to be getting busier: a lick of paint here, shops re-opening there, visitors trickling in. We even went to see a band the other night at the Café de la Plage - summer's on its way, phew!

We have it on good authority that the jetty infrastructure is sound and only the railings and wooden walkway will need to be replaced. Elsewhere the council workers have been very busy on the beaches creating man-made dunes where last month's storm destroyed the original ones and strengthening some sea defences. Fencing is still down on the footpaths submerged in February but the level of water in the Plan d'Eau is now lower than before and the breach sealed with huge rocks.

Nadine and Jim & Les arrive next week - we can't wait!
