Resolved.


Loic sets off to Narbonne Plage. Angus and the PONs are up early to wave him and the other residents off. Getting everyone on the coach is  a lengthy process. The staff are keen that those that need pre-journey 'pit stops' take them. Such is the excitement that several passengers need multiple ' pit stops' . They get on the bus and then off again. Loic gets 50 Euros for ice creams and 'treats' and reassurance that everything will be alright. For the journey Loic is wearing beach attire -  a striped tee shirt, shorts that stop between the ankle and the knee, sandals and a sun hat. Monsieur Bay and the Mayor have come up trumps. They've arranged a weeks home help and visits from the district nurse for his mother.

By the time we come back from waving farewell  to Loic the decorator is waiting outside the church. He's planning to start work on the porch on Monday and wants to see the paint and paper we've bought. The decorator looks at the church porch, looks at the wallpaper and announces that it's far too damp to paper. Angus says he'll order more paint. ' I'll be here at two ' says the decorator with what the innocent might interpret as finality.


Bob and Sophie enjoy a long walk across the fields. Another three weeks and it's the start of the hunting season. 


When the hunters are about the PONs are kept on their leads.



In the cheese mongers a thick creamy cheese filled with rich creamy cheese mousse infused with red fruits. Just looking at it blocks up the arteries.


To celebrate getting home Bob does several laps of the garden with disemboweled Panda.

So pleased Loic is getting his well deserved week at the seaside. Bob was obviously celebrating that very fact with his disemboweled Panda !

I know this is the Best Day Ever for Loic however, since this was a team effort, couldn't it be the Best Day Ever for everyone?!?!

It is beautiful to read that you, and your fellow villagers, are the "keepers" of your brothers and sisters:) A blessing indeed for all involved!

What a lovely village and what lovely people.
Terrific picture of Bob and Panda. But what's happened to Furry Fox?

Unknown said...

What wonderful people you are in your little Village . If everyone in the world was of similar ilk it would be a much better place for us all.
