The latest is that Phil and Gala are here cooking dinner... hurrah!

--And before that, guess what??
Andrée got a ticket for speeding!!!
(Her second offense in 50 years. The first was a parking ticket in Carcassonne when she was 30. Whatever next, the anarchist---)

Its nearly autumn here but the sunshine carries on - the hens are laying (we don't mention the cockerels) - Pam is back for the week - Steve's grapes are delicious and we are doing are best to eat them before he comes back. He'd hate to see them rotting on the vine, surely. Bieke is back here with Willem, Gods in her heaven. Captain H arrives Saturday for the night to see his brother and sister-in-law, the gifted cooks I'm currently exploiting, see above.
