Bienvenue!


Bienvenue!, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

I've just come back from a reception in the salle polyvalente, where the

mayor, Yves Perez, extended a special welcome to all newcomers to the commune.

Lots of us foreigners, but also French people who have moved here, including

families who have moved into new houses and who will enliven the community by

working here and sending their children to the schools.

The primroses in the photograph are a present from the commune, to me as a

newcomer. Everyone else had a similar present. But I'm so glad that I was

given yellow primroses! Instead of multi-coloured prima vera!

I love living here in France!

More or less back to normal

The snow has been thawing, and six hours after the previous picture the

netting seems to be intact.

Design fault?

I hope the netting will spring back into place when the snow's gone?

Grey days, and not drying weather

.. roll on Spring. We're all ready for some beautiful weather.

These birds aren't netted in yet

Should I top them?


Should I top them?, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

A friend suggested these restrictions (avian flu) might continue for years,

and that I should 'get rid ' of my hens, Clotilde, Agnes and Clarisse, bless

'em.

What should I do? Don't want to consign them to the freezer, but they are

obviously less happy in their pen than they were when they were happily

free-ranging.

Three (claustrophobic?) French hens

Not only have they been confined to their pen, but we've had to take measures

to keep wild birds out.

Avian flu, la grippe aviaire.

Three possible modes of transport; road, rail and water.

And the large rock, under which the chapel of St Gildas is built.

So much mistletoe on this small tree!

I fell into the muddy grass when ducking under the electric fence to take

this picture.

And you can see, the picture isn't even a masterpiece!

This well, dates 1836, is now under a corrugated iron farm building which was

built around it.

Pas de Pub

This letter box has got half a Gallo-Roman ossuaire on top of it,

presumably to stop it from blowing away.

Oh yes, and they don't want any publicity material, no advertising junk,

thank you.
