Thursday 19th April
It is grey and dismal outside as the April showers continue relentlessly, but this dull weather fails to drag down the enthusiasm of the volunteers. Paul declared a day off for the group so we just relaxed, stayed warm indoors and watched a Beatles film titled Across the Universe.
After dinner at La Giraudiere, desert was being served at a local restaurant, Quai Sud, which is situated by lake 1 kilometer from La Giraudiere. Here the group forced themselves to take in Crème Brulé, sorbets toped by a few beers and garnished with some international jokes.
The rain continues to pour and the wind seems to be picking up into a storm. Let us hope that the weather here in south west France eases up for Paul’s birthday celebration tomorow !
