The warm humid weather has brought the onion fields out into sudden bloom. Did the farmer fail to harvest them in time or are they meant to flower like this ? Sophie finds the onions 'intriguing'.
Today is the day of the funeral for the farmers wife. There will be a mass in the church at 3:30. Bruno, the depressive accordion playing physiotherapist has been asked to accompany the hymns. The church organ is out of action due to the fact that jays have nested in the pipes. The mayor felt that some music was better than no music. Bruno is also booked for the sing along on the village green on Saturday afternoon. Michel, the DJ, with his ' Sound of Saturday Night Fever ' will be there too. Alarmingly the poster says that amateur musicians will be welcome. Heaven only knows what will strut the village hall stage.

Let's the concert doesn't go on too late.
Nice that the Jays won't be disturbed.
Oh Angus, there is still time to call that hotel in Toulouse, to see if they have the dog-friendly room available again this weekend ! That, or do you know where to buy extremely good ear plugs.....?
Madame Bay likes to sing, doesn't she? A natural performer, I'd guess!
Sometimes an early cold snap will cause onions to bolt. Or a hot dry spell in summer.

If Sophie wallowed in the onions, then roamed among the concert goers, it may cut the concert short!!!
Onions will bolt for even the most experienced farmer. The fields look lovely when they do.
Can you record the festivities for us all?
