Hiroko in the streets of Brossac

It’s Monday morning again which can only mean one thing – Chalais market! However, firstly we sadly had to say goodbye to Hiroko beforehand as she headed off to Carcassonne. LG has enjoyed the past four weeks with her here and her cooking will be greatly missed as she was one of the best cooks we’ve had here!

In the afternoon the big excitement took place. Mr. Fong and Mr. Goddard are the first two volunteers to take up residence in the long awaited gite 4. Their job over the next week will be putting together a list of things to make their stay even more pleasurable than that we normally experience.

Tense game of pétanque with the locals

Despite it being a Monday, Mark was being cook today so we enjoyed a lovely spag bol followed by pétanque. We all had a great couple of games and once again, Paul wound up the locals when he won. Underneath you can see a postcard given to us from Raymond after the pétanque competition last Thursday. We hope you find it as funny as we did!
