It makes a change from commenting on the weather.
In rural Lavergne, a few miles from Eymet, Saturday saw the annual Fete of the Summer hosted by the village.
A moment to digress. How many of us have seen on TV "Place in the Sun" & "Get a new life"?
Suddenly, rather like the romance of the show, we see the vision of us sitting on a warm summers evening, sipping local wine under the trees, fairy lights strung above us and eating local produce, surrounded by our French friends and neighbours. This year the brutal reality was that it was a bit cold, we sat in the 'Salle de Fetes' and not out under the trees, yet all the magic of our place in the, eh sun, was still around us! There are no language barriers especially when everyone was dancing (imagine a 70's school disco or Four weddings and a Funeral - if you can), everyone had a smile on their faces and a great time was had by all.
Everyone here is urged to take part in these local events, they may not have much sophistication but you will have only fun!
