The best laid plans of mice and men

Val says  You can work away as hard as you like but somewhere along the line things can go awry. The bulletin Municipal came today, we were told we had missed the deadline for the  Salon du Jardin d'été so that would have been a miracle if it was in.  No miracle of course.

It is the 11th year of the Varenly Regatta and  Wed 20 th Aug that is in,  with a picture for the first time ever, so that is brilliant.

The Picnic in the Park is in Wed 23 July at Mas del Sol contact ...  a misspelt email address!

Then The Folk and Jazz being hosted by us on, yer what! the SUNDAY 29th, scream no, it is always the last Thursday in the month and this one will be Thursday June 26th.
 I have visions of us hosting one of the usual great folk and jazz nights on Thursday  followed by an impromtu sing along when the Varen villagers, councillors and  Mayor  arrive on Sunday night.
So any Varenois reading this now please mark it in your diaries  folk ' n ' Jazz will be Thursday 26th of June. It is looking as if it is going to be a great night with lots happening.
And for all those who asked at the Book swap how to get here, below are directions

The route to Mas del Sol, Varen

From Varen take the main road towards Laguepie, then turn left onto the D20, Verfeil road. At 400 metres turn right (signposted St Martial). 400 metres further take the right fork towards Mas del Sol - look for the little sheep sign for La Bergerie. Climb 2kms until you see La Bergerie group on the left, with white gates. You can enter the parking area  30metres further on.

From Verfeil 

Take the main D20 towards Varen and the St Martial sign is the last on the left - then proceed as above.

Please do not go to St Martial - you will get lost unless you know the way. In desperation phone us on 0563640673

The quote in the heading is of course from John Steinbeck's novel  of  Mice and Men (and it was actually best laid schemes but plans are often substituted)
