Nous sommes le mercredi deux mars

Happy birthday to our daughter Sam, born 49 years ago... she will not thank me for mentioning that.

It must have been very wet through the night as walking over to the donkeys the grass was soaked with puddles on the path near the house.
The rivers will be mounting again.
The second winter we arrived here 2002 we will never forget how it rained so much the road next to the Aveyron flooded as it does but so severe was it that it surrounded the Moulin restaurant. The restaurant owners at that time were Nathalie and Bouzo and they had to be helicoptered out. all being on the TV news and causing quite a scare in the village. Other friends were picked up by pompiers and  carried out shouting " no, leave us, we will be OK" The pompiers rightly were not taking that risk.
It has never been that severe since.
