Les boulistes

I am sure I must have blipped the boules players before but probably up by the Mairie. In fact, there are various places where the game is played but this is the official boulodrome next to the tennis courts. The regulars are out every day and there are various competitions in the summer months. I was back from market shopping early to help with preparations for the arrival of the prospective chaplain who is staying with us for two nights. After the tennis lesson, I went along to french Conversation which was well attended and we spent quite some time talking about the drought and the water restrictions and trying to impress on a newcomer that she should absolutely not be taking any water out of the river or canals for her garden this summer. The local police are on the lookout for any garden which looks too green and the fines are considerable.
