Not quite a wimple

It's not quite a wimple, is it? No. It's more a sort of pointy hat. They are performers from our Nuit Romanes. I'm not going to explain what they're doing, other than to say that they are about to take about 150 people on a walk in the woods.


I wasn't able to go, but Lisbeth was there, helping with the arrangements on the night. She's been out a lot this month, with visitors, cultural events and social engagements. Well, that's what August is about in this region. So much culture, so little time to be cultured.

Autumn

The warm summer sun is now waning quite fast
There's a change in the air and a sense of the past
The chill of the morning transforming the night
brings the feeling of Autumn to conjure the light

I like to be sheepy and think of the flock
Of hills over-wandered and good woolly stock
Of times when we felt ourselves happy and free
in the fields of remembering a you and a me.
