The temperature
plunged, and Saturday and the start of Sunday were very cold. Sun arrived on Sunday afternoon
again and I did a great deal of planting. - Salad, tomatoes, 4 rows of beans,
carrots, rocquet, and mixed salad seeds.
Had a lovely walk all around the valley, enjoying a cool breeze and
admiring the carpet of golden buttercups amongst queen anne’s lace and the deep
green of the fields around. Later
I will plant onions.
This morning I watched
a host of tiny little birds feeding on the vine in front of our windows,
finches and tits, redstarts and others.
This year most of the
French population will only work 4 days a week for the month of May, as there
are 4 religious holidays which fall on Mondays! A good time to prepare their gardens for summer.
People in the village are
hopeful that there will be some changes under their new President. He is a relatively inexperienced man,
and has been a functionnaire for most of his life with a comfortable job, which
doesn’t augur well for the difficult tasks ahead. Just hope he has a really good team around him and listens
to advice!
