"Gégé" says goodbye

How many of us have popped into Gerard Grosborne's shop in the Place de la Halle in St Antonin for a passport photo, have a film developed, buy a special photographic gift or enlargement? Well no more, because GG as he is known has decided to put the cap on the lens and take a well-earned rest. A familiar figure in the town since 1997 Gerard turned his passion for photography into a profession and moved to St Antonin after meeting his wife there. Also involved in local affairs and culture Gerard has welcomed new ideas with enthusiasm and energy. Just a few days ago we met him at Rehoboth and said "could you take this bike to St Antonin, please?" "No problem - pop it in the boot" he said. We looked (in vain, sadly) for a photo we had of him sitting on one of the superb eggs in the sadly missed Fete d'un oeuf, which he supported with typical verve. But this is not an obituary and we hope to see him in and around the village for years to come.
