Fête in a serre

Well I never thought that I would be partying in a big plastic greenhouse opposite our house, partying to celebrate the " serre" being finished.
When the French young neighbours moved in and said they wanted to grow medicinal herbs, I thought, "oh, no they will want a plastic greenhouse,"  and sure enough it came. It has been sited partially hidden from view and does not affect our views in any way and our concerns were taken into consideration by the young people when siting it.
The fête went well and the serre was full of young French folks, children, dogs and me and Malc. We were very touched how all the young people included us in conversations and as we mingled everyone wanted to chat and ask about our life here, our donkeys and some wanted to go to England to work.
It was so nice seeing beautiful young people with energy ( after struggling all day with the plastic they could still have enough energy to party)
Malc and I struggled home and dropped exhausted in to bed, we were tired just struggling with the language all evening.
