Tidying up at La Paillote one morning we heard a very low helicopter going back and forth. It was spraying all the trees along the coast against processioning caterpillars which make their cocoon nests in the pine trees at this time of year. Some of you will remember last November when we had a trail of caterpillars at the front of our house: http://anenglishmaninlatranche.blogspot.com/2009/11/welcome-and-unwelcome-visitors.html Less threatening was Jean up on the roof of the restaurant, removing the long blinds and sorting out a few dislodged tiles.
We've managed quite a few dips in this late season with very few people around. The sun has been hot but the water temperature is beginning to dip now. They've been working hard on the building by L'Equipage bar and now only the central part remains. This section of the beach front will be much improved by this new development.
Finally, celebration time: Matt in disguise for the last night at La Paillote; and my dessert at Nico's, complete with sparkler to celebrate my 60th birthday. More celebrations to follow!!
