A very good moaning with Monsieur Allaud

Guess what has just happened! Monsieur Allaud (pronounced Allo) , René, has just been bearing a gift of ... an expensive brown leather handbag,  full of everything that should be there, glasses, money, documents, and of course TAG business cards. René lives at the bottom of our steep winding bank but owns a parcel of land edging the road on the way down. He had gone to cut a bit of wood and tidy up the grass there when he found it. We had walked past it looking  but he said if he had not been cutting the grass it would not have been found. This man has done us many favours since we arrived in France as he used to be amongst other things a blacksmith and although he does not continue now with his work he has done some little jobs for us in the past. He has also been so friendly ever since we came and along with Malcolm and others he is on the committee for restoration  of the Church at St. Vincent. What would you do without good neighbours?
