RANDOM THOUGHTS AND PHOTOS

And so, the text from the Prefecture arrived inviting us to collect our cartes de séjour.
The collection days are on Monday, Thursday and Friday mornings.
We will be up early to fetch them first thing tomorrow.
I feel much relieved but will not be entirely relaxed until we have them in our hands with the right names and photos on them.
(Some friends collected theirs a while ago to find that his photo was on hers and hers was on his.)
(I can't remember exactly how they sorted that out.)


Apéro time chez nous.


Apéro time in the square.


One of our favourite views.


Yvonne settles down in her favourite spot.



Spot the cat.


A brocante purchase, 2€.  
I should have knocked him down to 1€ but the weather was awful, he didn't have many customers and I didn't have the heart to do it.


Windfall irises.


Our May Day outfits.


Apéro time at the Relais in Abilly.


Dignitaries at the wine fair in Le Grand Pressigny.


 My Simnel cake that I made on Easter Sunday.
The weather was so foul that there was nothing else to do but bake a cake.
Someone said it looks a bit rude.
I'm sure I have no idea what they mean.
