Wanderers' return.

Our next door neighbours but one, Delphine & Thierry, left four years ago for a five year stint on the Caribbean island of Martinique. Thierry works for EDF and went over to improve the electricity supplies over there. 

They took Luca, their son with them but unfortunately Luca developed a cancer in his leg and they have had to return a year early for him to have his operation and after-care in France. He is going to have a new knee and she was quite comforted when she knew I had one this year as well. We wish him well.  

The shipping container with all their furniture turned up this morning after their tenants moved out over the weekend and now Delphine is supervising the unloading in typical French fashion (very loud with lots of arm waiving).
