23rd September Les Toulerons

Sunday 23rd September Home at Les Toulerons.

Today we woke up to a very much different day than we had been use to over the last week. It was very overcast and had had been raining gently most of the night.
Lots of tidying up to do, emptying the suitcase and of course washing the clothes.
Ventured out mid morning to drive into Rongy to buy a banquette and a loaf of bread from our local bakery and a few other bits and pieces.
Watched Australia play Fiji at 2pm live from Montpellier where we had been quite close to the other day. Could see they were enjoying a beautiful warm sunny afternoon.
Could hear gunshots all around us in the later afternoon as they were shooting in the woods. We know that Valerie’s builder is a member of the local hunting team. The shots came so close to us that Beatrice didn’t want me venturing too far out of our garden area. We could see the birds (ducks) falling to the ground as they shot them and the dogs chasing around collecting them up.
Sad really when you think about it. It went on for hours all around us.
Had to get back inside to watch the next game live from Scotland with NZ playing the home team there. The Aussies will have to play a lot better than they did if they want to beat the Kiwi’s from what I saw.
