Hi,
Great minds think alike. I giggle at the thought of a school for holes every time I see this sign.
Cheers

Wow! Good thing we have already decided to skip all the interim steps and be cremated from the get go.

What a fount of information you are. Thank you.

We need to try to swing through a thatched roof area in the spring then. Maybe next year.

Oops. Thanks for the correction.

Ah! The sit row en .. At least it’s a bit classier 😉

Families who don’t pay the rent will see their dead relatives evicted and sent to the crematorium after which they are re-interred in potter’s field. Sad, but as rural France becomes more depopulated it’s increasingly common.

Yep. It’s flax. After the seeds harvested, the stems go for retting, a long soak in water, when the non-fibrous parts are rotted away. Then they are combed and dried to produce tow, which can be spun into linen. Tow is the color of blond hair, so when I was little, I was often called a tow-head, which I took as an insult because I didn’t think my head looked like a toe!

Hi,
The thatched roofs are especially nice in spring when the irises on the roof peak are in bloom!
Cheers,Keith

Hi,
Agreed, except the Ami is a Citroen. For a while you could buy them in the local appliance store. They are electric, and don’t require a drivers license. Not for more than urban use.
Cheers

I agree. That's a nice detail that took some fancy shingling and planning.

Yes, this is France, but a Renault is always a “no-nault” Super cheap!
Think stapled dashboard components..🫣

However, Another illness ( flu, covid, etc) are already taking the places of TB. It is the evolution of germs, which we cannot stay ahead of . Enough..

We are just south of the Normandy landing beaches so the flags are in remembrance of the liberating armies.
