Socialist Republic of Tilling

The sun shines on the righteous... here Hilary and Nick shelter whilst waiting for the bus to continue their journey to Nimes, not far but a day-long trip on public transport. Bon voyage to them and a return visit soon, I hope -
Loads of  excitement last night. We were having an apero in Lukes when he interrupted the hubub to announce the results in Tilling. Clear win for the Socialists. We thought, ha! That won't happen all over France; BUT IT DID!!
Much amazement and cries of joy - a socialist leader in Europe!
Though there were those in the cafe and later in T Rex who thought that with the multinationals, the banks and Monsanto in control, it wouldn't make a lot of difference. Time, as they say, will tell.
