69.



Emile and Marise have bought a camper van. I can`t quite believe this. Emile is in shorts and T shirt. Marie is, well no, not quite in shorts but a skirt that isn`t meant to be a mini, a floppy hat and a blouse that is in orange and black stripes. They have bought two all terrain bikes from Decathlon and off they are going towards the Mediterranean for a few days. We have to, says Emile. Nearly retired, someone to watch over the cows and calves, the dog and cat have plenty of food in the barn; we`ve just got to go on an excursion. It`s what life is about. I  keep my mouth closed and my thoughts sealed there.I`m finding this all charming, delightful, joyful in fact. I’ve not been a good judge apparently as this is the last thing I would think of, that Emile and Marie are going on holiday in a white camper. I thought money wasn’t there but obviously farmers can put their hands on some cash when the time comes. Go for it, I say, bonnes vacances, bonnes randonnes!
