The weather complicates farming matters and affects holiday makers.

The moving of sheep called " les transhumances" is complicated by the wet and cold weather,the farmers   growing asperges / asparagus have seen crops washed away by all the rain. The cherry growers say the season is going to be delayed by at least 3 weeks .On a personal level we have so much lush green grass that is difficult to keep the donkeys in a small area to stop them gorging themselves and becoming ill. We have renters arriving from England at the weekend with children but the grass is so sodden in the grounds and the pool is still cold, and with not very encouraging forecasts I am getting out all the games, jigsaw puzzles and the like. When are  are "those lazy crazy days of Summer" going to come.
