City dwellers be amazed.

You know you're living in deepest France profonde ...

..... when the most exciting thing that happens is ...

..... the workmen arrive to repaint the zebra crossing and the speed bumps.

Bollards are laid out and paint applied.

Bob, sitting on his stump seat by the gate, is transfixed.

The workmen return in the afternoon to collect the bollards.

The little tike and his brother ride their bikes through the wet paint.

Sophie, exhausted by the drama unfolding outside the gate finally adopts her ' You guard. I'll sleep ' pose.

For the PONs this has undoubtedly been the best day ever.

The musicians seem to be enjoying playing this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcDzRjMIDvo
