It is not over yet: trouble at Sivens

Dear Val

This morning we drove into Gaillac via our favourite route through the forest of Sivens to find the road at Barat seething with  people and their gendarmes minders in heavy gear, guns drawn and helmets with all round protective visors. This evening at dusk it was even worse, with about 50 white vans and their occupants and at least 6 gendarme mini buses and some 40 gendarmes in the same protective gear 'keeping the peace'. So its back to the main road for us which is a real shame as we enjoyed the hare, two rabbits, and two cats who shared the dusk with us.
