A copy at Cléguerec.

The original statue was a gift from the French people to America, following

the American Revolution.

Not only are there names of the military, but also the FFI (the resistance fighters), les déportés, and les disparus.

I find this so sad, so poignant.

All will be commemorated on 8 May, Victory in Europe Day.

Strawberries, gooseberries, currants, raspberries ...

.. I've painted the back wall.

The next step is to prepare the woodwork on the door and windows, and then

paint them that glorious Breton Blue.

This little section of the garden is already planted with old shrub roses

and herbaceous perennials.

I think it will look glorious when it all takes off!

.. but she's wasting her time.

No fertile eggs here, apart from the times when one or two of them go

gallivanting down the village, and have a friendly encounter with neighbouring

poultry.
