I visited Villesèquelande, viewing a
500-yr-old tree planted during the reign of Henri IV—a good thing
for a king to be remembered for.
Then the village of Bram, which had a
circular wall defending the church and some houses, then an outer
wall defending a greater area. Now it doesn't have walls but a great
ring road system. Sadly, at bicycle level, there's not much to see,
and I didn't bother to charter a helicopter.
In Bram church was a lovely statue of St
Roche, displaying his sore leg. He has been a great support this year,
because Mathilde had a sore foot, since fixed, and Mr Pither
(pictured) had two flat tyres, also now fixed. The saint's dog also brings him food--unlike any dog I've known, including Inspector Rex.
A peaceful bedroom for Mathilde.
