A good morning.



Last nights Scottish independence debate an acrimonious, unedifying affair. Angus is on the wagon for a week but  is off it by the time the broadcast ends.

This morning we've had our coffee ( and illicit half croissant ) and are heading back to the car. It's still early enough for there to be no one around. The three of us wander down the hill and settle on the steps outside the old pilgrim church. Inside a young German organist is practising for tonight's recital. 

Sophie falls asleep, Bob lies down but keeps one eye open in case of danger. Some pilgrims, keen to be on their way before the sun rises, look at us. '' A day as beautiful as God's justice " says a tall thin man in an orange tee shirt. This is rather a profound thing to respond to ( let alone translate ) at this time in the morning so I nod and smile. On reflection the man is right. Can there be anything as beautiful as sitting on the church steps in the eight o'clock sunshine, a PON on either side , listening to this through the open door ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZY8iJ8pf24

Unedifying does not begin to describe it, I'm afraid.
PONs and beautiful music a good antidote.
Thanks, Gail.

A beautiful day indeed - despite the rain this side of the Massif Central! We have cats instead of PONs but they're just as good for calming the troubled breast!

First photo is so picturesque, the trees look like those a child would draw, straight trunk, fluffy, round and green on top.

That face!

Is there any news on the old farmer and how he made out after his surgery?
Thanks....Chris

Nothing more beautiful, Angus, unless the font was there too.
Yes, is there any news concerning the very old farmer? Might Mme.Bay have some answers?

Add me to those who want word on the Old Farmer Is his son still at the farm? Maybe you will run into him and ask how Pop is?

Even our Prime Minister weighed in on the Scottish Independence debate. But he's an idiot anyway.

What a lovely morning....two Pons beside you sitting on a church step enjoying some beautiful music.....does The Font know what she's missing?
