Angie who sits on the local parish council, has a meeting of one her committees today at 0930hrs. The mayor of the commune, Bernard will collect her and they are off to discuss issues concerning their regional water board. On completion they are due to adjourn to a local hotel for lunch. Angie, ever thoughtful has prepared lunch. A salad with delicious ham sandwiches for us.
Whilst she is out living the high life that the office affords we mere mortals are resigned to taking the rubbish sacks up the lane to the bins in a wheelbarrow, followed by a small walk around the immediate area to stretch our legs.
I believe Tom and Jackie did not need the wheelbarrow as such, it was brought as a precaution for me. They intended using it as a improvised wheelchair! One of the fields had been sown to crops and it was here that Jackie spotted a deer, barely its head appearing over the stalks, watching us most intently. Everyone froze. The deer, then suddenly decided it too had seen enough and with a series of very graceful bounds was gone into the cover of the woods on the edge of the field.
