Better news from Realville

So far the day is going to plan
Who said Malc and I were retired?
One of our flock was picked up at 9.30 am to go for papers at Montauban, getting asylum like everything else is complicated.
Malc walked the dogs and sorted out donkeys as I sped off with a car full of young men on a mercy mission. Off to Realville to talk to the youngsters to try and cheer them up... they were all very glum, but the good news most were eating again although some did say they really did not feel like food.
Our young men as always can be relied upon and they told the boys about themselves and there
were lots of conversations which were partially relayed to me.The gist of things seems to be the boys will appeal the decision and just hope that the British government will listen to why they want to go to the UK and understand family is important to them. We did have lunch with them and the conversations continued.
They do seem to be staying till their appeals are heard.
Then on to Bruniquel to see others. Samy the cook from Rehoboth was there and the boys just love this lady. I am sure the new Sudanese guys will be just the same about her.
French lessons were underway, some were having hospital visits so young men were thin on the ground.
Back home to receive a call from Malc that one guy has been met from a two day bus journey and now he is off to the train station to pick up another couple.
At least I do not have to cook as the preparation for supper is already underway next door in the gite.
