I bet there is a clause of where to leave your shoes when visiting. I am always stumped. Do I take them off outside or just inside the door? Where do I leave them? If there’s a rug inside the door, is that for the shoes? These questions and many more . . .

When our village was threatened by a mine, it was amazing how everyone came together for the fight – 6 young men ending up in gaol for 2 months. No one caved in despite the mine company singling out individuals and offering large bribes to back down and the gendarmerie being on the side of the developers. We had a bloody good party when we won.

J and I love being out and about away from the touristic areas – real people, real food, etc

We are now down to about 4 restaurants that we visit. It gets a bit monotonous but it’s better that getting annoyed at overpriced, badly prepared food.

I find May a bittersweet month. On the 3rd it’s the anniversary of my dad’s death too, he died 18 years ago from Motor Neurone disease and it’s still painful after all this time. Then it’s his birthday on the 10th. But it’s my birthday on the 24th, something to look forward to.

Gorgeous photos, Karen and I know what you mean about certain times of the year. For me these are April (mother’s birthday and father’s death) and November (father’s birthday and mother’s death) Even after many years these months have a feel different from the rest.
