Les Toulerons.
Well its looks like the French Foreign Legion will be having 15 or more new recruits lining on on Monday so they hide themselves away for the next four years. Argentina were just so determined they deserved to win. ( Still as everybody says its only a game)
Well winter has certainly turned up here in the French countryside. Very brisk mornings of zero or minus degs, sunshine during the day that gets us up to 10deg and then the log fires and cold dark evenings with the brightest of stars lighting up the sky.
Stayed around the house until it warmed up and then went for a walk in Rogny. Had a look at the riding school and the all the cruise boats moored up for the winter. Quite a few locals out walking carrying their baguettes, a sight that you get to see every day just before lunch time, in any town or village that you are in.
Passed by the Presbytery to see if Gretchen was at home so we could meet her son Geoffrey Greene and her daughter in law Mary. Unable to raise them though the dogs did bark at us when we knocked on the big double wooden doors. Still we already had his book and he had signed it.
Back home and the fire place set up ready for the evenings entertainment. Being an hour later in France the game didn't start until 9pm, however it was worth waiting for as it was the right final result.
