c'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la Gare


As promised, photo of new building... well, OK, not really. More the road leading to the roadworks to plumb in the services for the new building. Which is clearly nearly finished, so more pix anon.

Persons from Tilling are all too aware that the Café de la Gare has been closed for a couple of years now. There are legal issues that it is probably inappropriate to air here. The court case has prevented the owners opening up and continuing to earn their livelihood - and cost us citizens our innocent pastimes.

Alors: the boules court opposite the café is the property of the owners and they applied for and got planning permission to build a new café. Thats what the new building is, or will be shortly.

It blocks the Cantou restaurant but since the new caff is not licensed for food it may well bring in trade for the Cantou.

Heres hoping for a slap up opening party and many calm contemplative nights, in the tradition of the old gare.

****Had a prevue of Mat Hilton's show this afternoon: stonking, don't miss the vernissage tomorrow at Castelreng, see www.apwb.org for map and details. Its from 3.00 till 10 - easy to fit in the day.****
