Nous sommes le lundi treize novembre

Brrr, what a cold morning, especially at 7.30 am out in the fields renewing temporary donkey fencing which had blown down. The wind was very strong in the night, fortunately everything else seems to be in place, tiles still on the roof, trees still standing.

Wish our little team luck today as a mixed nationality group go and speak to the Maire of Varen to ask if we can use the building, the old town hall as a two morning a week charity shop. All profits would go to benefit local people who are struggling including refugees. The association will be formed even if the Mayor says no and we will keep trying or find another location. But why would he say no if we are prepared to spend our time helping the poor of his village? He has nothing to lose.
Then this afternoon I have a couple of lads coming to help me empty the gite of boxes of donations, ready for the new arrivals.
We may have a quiet evening!!
How about you, how is your day planning out?
