As I think the majority of you know I am returning to the Uk after 20 years of not just living but energising in France.
Malc and I always said whatever happened we have had these years.
20 years of being involved.
We created the monthly book swap which will be able to start again soon
The Varenly regatta, a yearly canoe race in Varen for Families
Monthly Folk and Jazz Evenings
Picnic in the Park yearly Jazz event raising money for Enfants d’Afrique , children in Bamako
Malc was President of the Caylus Bridge club
Malc started the Friday boules group,
For awhile I was involved with Fifi as a committee member
I started the very popular on line local magazine Taglines,first as paper copies then Tag-on-line,Malc became so interested he joined me with editorials
I helped rehomed animals with Truffes et Moustaches and started a face book page called Rehoming animals in Midi Pyrenees
When nearly 6 years ago refugees arrived in the area and we both then spent every minute doing what we could to help them.
When they started getting asylum and their own apartments we asked readers to give us furniture and funds to help us ,help them
We were so succesful we needed an association and created Mains Tendues 82,which proved a great success and I am proud and Malc would be too to know it is going to continue.
As you also know Malc died about 17 months ago, then we were plunged into covid. Because I am now 75 and feel I need family in 3 weeks I will return to the Uk.
I want to take this opportunity before I go to thank everyone for their love and kindness to us both.
His time and my time have just been a blast... but we could not have enjoyed it without you all.
I am sure you will continue to hear of my exploits in the Uk
