Beau Soleil Blues: Saturday, September 28th, Adieu Mont Neffiès, Bonjour Agen!

Bed is the poor man's opera. -Italian proverb 


Hello Darling Kathryn!

Trust you remain well. As you will know, if Cora Lee's message has sped across the ether, we will be in holding each other's hands and gazing lovingly into each other's eyes, on the Left Bank in Paris, sipping Champagne and nibbling on fresh strawberries, while you orient VWF volunteers!

Must away as off to Agen shortly, to rendezvous with friends for start of two week canal barge, along Canal du Midi, sipping above mentioned Champagne! Fondestos to one and all at VWF from Cora Lee. Cheers, Patrizzio!


Hello Niall and Simon!

Trust you are both well. Just a brief note to let you know that we are leaving shortly for Agen to continue our holiday on a canal barge.

The double bed downstairs has been stripped, bed linen and one towel left on table. Same for upstairs double bed. However, given the glorious weather we experienced all month, the duvet upstairs was never used.

I missed the cardboard recycling day so I apologize for that. I gather that plastic bottles go in same bin. Sorry, if this is not the case. There is a small amount of household garbage, some of which had stuck to the bottom of bin when last emptied.

I have left €150, (3 people over the month), on the counter, along with a water bill and an envelope that came in the mail.

Thank you again, Niall, for your help with my friend Jamie. Very much appreciated.

Thank you, Simon, for the more. than wonderful stay in your most comfortable house here in Neffiès. My wife, (to the extent that she has been here), and I had one of the most enjoyable holidays of our lives: the countryside, the people, the wine, the markets, etc., on and on and on. Plan, as circumstances allow, to return to Languedoc, in the not too, too distant future, I hope, as we feel we've just scratched the surface of this beautiful, historic, peaceful, endlessly fascinating part of France.

Will leave key in lock box. All the best to you both. Cheers, Patrizzio!


Hi Patrick
So glad you enjoyed yourselves.  Please visit us again.
May your journey continue with such wonderful stories.
Niall and Trudi
As always, a big thank you - and yes, let's put on a new front door.

Hi Everybody,

Have any of you seen this video taken in the BC Gulf Islands back in August?

Ellie was on the ferry when this same Orca (Killer Whale) pod came out of Active Pass. She saw a similar spectacle from the westbound boat. The press later reported that the group numbered around 80. These lucky people were on Galiano Island, in Active Pass to witness the parade. bob
