Walking the lanes in the sun

This morning walking the dogs along the lane, Malc told me he got quite a fright yesterday  as he was walking, singing his music for the "Voices" choir when a chasseur popped up from behind the hedge. He was well hidden with even a little stool to sit on, gun though at the ready. Malc said " bonjour" then walked on singing louder to scare off any animals running his way, whilst Bonny and Twister gave him a real good barking. Probably ruined his shoot!
The French people yesterday from the village all complained about the chasse and said they were scared coming up the road as men with guns were everywhere. We had thought it a cultural thing, this fear of the chasse but yesterday proved it was not that... it is the worry of being shot in mistake, regardless of nationality.

The walk this morning was lovely with sun and a warm southerly breeze. Toulouse is forecast to be the hottest place in France today.
