The old mayor stops for a chat. Today he's in the ancient VW Golf without hubcaps. Sophie gets an ear scratch. President Macron was re-elected by a healthy nationwide margin. Here in the village things were different. Madame LePen won 37 votes, the incumbent just 18. For the first time ever there were abstentions. ' The world is changing' says The old mayor.
The orchid field coming into full bloom. I'd worried that the strong winds had damaged the orchid flowers but they seem to have recovered. In its timeless and never changing way the orchid field is a wonder of the world.
Angus stops off for a croissant at the modern cafe. He goes alone. Sophie is being kept at home until her next visit to the vets on Thursday. It would be an understatement to say that imprisonment ( and the lack of curly croissant ends ) is a state of affairs that the family diva dislikes.

Sophie thinks that Angus should bring her a selection of croissant ends, preferably more than one. Or possibly an entire croissant.
Unnerving, that so many voted for LePen.
Sophie being kept at home all week? This is going to be 'interesting' Here, life has become so much easier since Nobby had his second vaccination on Thursday and at least a part of his excess energy can now be worked off on short walks.
Cheers. Gail.
I'm pleased to learn that Sophie is objecting to being kept home.

That Sophie can let her displeasure be known so clearly suggests she intends to stick around a bit longer and that can only be good news. Even if it does mean 'isolation' for another week! Old Mayor is not wrong - it's the only guarantee in life, is change... YAM xx

Knowing that at the moment Sophie is not there to enjoy the curly ends of your croissant, makes the last photo somewhat poignant. Are you saving the ends until she can once again enjoy them? Perhaps best not to let her know if you have a 9&1/2 out of 10!
How wonderful to have a whole orchid field in full flower nearby.
Goog to see the sweet girl back where she belongs, time for treats!
I bet Sophie would enjoy home delivery of Croissants each day till she can go to the cafe.🥰😋
Seeing Sophie in her position in the doorway under the wisteria brings a rush of relief embroidered with joy and the stinging of happy tears. Three days ago we couldn't have known what Monday would bring. Sophie has depths of will and strength beneath that furry coat we never could have imagined... buoyed by the infinite love and support of her dear flock.

Glad Sophie is better! Might be best to avoid those croissant ends. Butter & fatty foods aren’t too good for the liver.
So happy that Sophie is happy.
Sophie, those croissant ends look a little burnt, anyway. We love seeing you looking out the front door!
