Hanging basket detail

The hanging baskets in the village are now looking really good. I hope our flowers will survive our absence. Our neighbours have agreed to water them but in the height of summer the pots will need daily attention. I am sure it will not be a problem as they have their own to attend to just the other side of our gate. It was French conversation this afternoon. We were only eight today but the conversation flowed on a variety of subjects including the severe damage done across France by the recent violent hailstorms.
