Today walking the dogs along the Aveyron in Laguepie we past the building at "la base nautique" and the attached camping ground.
When we first arrived and indeed for many years in the summer this place was packed with youngsters on their holidays with an association the UCPA
Over the years we have noticed a sad decline in the building and two years ago the UCPA pulled out as the facilities were not up to scratch. The commune as other communes has little money to spend on such things.
When we talk of desertification of the countryside this sort of problem runs along side it. Fewer people living here in the villages, elderly residents with little or no income except pensions, where does the commune raise money from ? (did I hear someone say "us Brits")
We need young people, we need jobs, we need revitalising, but I am going for an afternoon nap so maybe I will start that project later.
Do you know I thought that last sentence really funny but when I read it to Malc he gave me a withering look!
