Support Martine at Puylaroque

Hi Val! Much is happening  here, and I am referring to the forthcoming elections . I had no idea I was going to join the maire’s team up until the maire came to invite me. Pierre is 75 and some people  think he should leave space for younger people. When I asked him that question, he replied he had more to give to the village and I was touched by his humility and selflessness. The previous maire got involved in a nasty court case for being inappropriate with female staff and Pierre had managed to appease the village with his gentle ways. He had also managed to restore the village finances to a healthy state. Not a small job. So I joined the team and we have  put together various projects concerning  the very centre of the village which like a  lot of other villages  around is missing  life and energy. I find our team to be not only a great bunch of competent men and  women but each one of us has a real human contribution to make. The next couple of weeks will be busy to say the least as we’ll be going around seeing all the inhabitants and getting to hear what each and every one of them has to say and talk about our projects for our village. I have never been a councillor and I am looking  forward to chatting to a lot of people even though I am aware that some of the stuff we’ll hear will be pretty strong stuff as always….I’ve been told.
