Something quite exciting about real post, you know the sort that comes in the postbox at the gate!

Todays first real letter opened was a real surprise, nobody, but nobody sends me money for adverts   unsolicited, but her 3 month renewal time is up and Jacynth Crozier has sent a cheque, 35 euros to Liberte des Anes, without being prompted.
 I think this lady deserves a bit of gold star treatment. Jacynth  advertises  on TAG as a  qualified translator and also gives French lessons. I am going to ask her a little more about her work as she is a lady I do not know but she has impressed me with her  diligence.
Well done Jacynth.
The second letter was a mystery with the stamp of Najac Town Hall. My imagination  ran wild as I slit open the flap. Did they want posters for the Salon du Jardin, or the Jazz at Mas del Sol? or Hmm!

A curt letter saying " remove your two  directional signs from the Najac commune to Mas del Sol or we will remove them and charge you for doing it." We have 14 days to comply.
The signs have been in place for two years and we were a bit miffed when all the surrounding hameau's were signposted and Mas del Sol was not, admittedly in a different commune.
We will of course remove the signs but ask that they put signs up for us or give us permission to replace them. We should also ask our Maire if he is allowed to sign in another commune.

We did feel as if it was French bureaucracy gone mad again when there are 3 pages of photos of the signs, the letter and a page with a map of the area, ringed in red where the offending signs are.
