( who would shun sun, a typing error I like) So lots of people, lots of books, fewer and fewer DVD's, lots of coffee and beers and chatting.
Can you beat that for a great morning.
Meeting old friends, meeting new friends, bags of books to take away and all for free. We "retraitès" know a bargain when we see one.
Nice to meet Hans our new advertiser who tells me he is now renting the shop next to Disc and over the road from The Gazpacho. In chatting I discovered that amongst his many talents he has the technology to change your old wedding video onto a DVD.
Lots of talk about the forthcoming plant swap, so that could be well attended.
Our Canadian renters who leave this coming weekend had been to the Bal sous la Halle at Verfeil and loved it, all the young people doing traditional dance. Stuart a media Professor and photographer said he took over 40 great photos as a reminder and he has kindly thought to send them to Magali our young French neighbour who was one of the animatrices.
The crowd of young French people dancing, we were trying to find a descriptive name for. In our era they would have been hippies. They are not marginals, as they are not on the fringes of society. They are University educated young people who have opted out of " the eternal slog" and are diversifying into such activities as " growing medicinal herbs and plants, beer making , logging and other hopefully money making country pursuits. One chap owns the valley of the Baye and is preserving it with all the wild life and butterflies and also living off the land.
Malc and I are delighted to know and be friends with them all.
