Departures

And so it goes! Nicky and Nadia have to catch an early plane in Marseille. My Swiss friends and relations, Marc and Meisi, Hans, Theres and Ruth, Hubert and Marianne start their leisurely trip back to Switzerland. John-B and family plus dogs pile into their huge Landrover, direction Champery, and I take the Swiss band to Nimes to catch the TGV .
We are feasting on left-over lamb and pork. David undertakes the arduous task of bringing the tables and benches back, all the men give a hand to move the furniture back into the musicroom.
There is a moment of panic when we hear about the forth-coming railroad strike, but SNCF assures us that all the trains will be running normally until Monday evening.
