After the hermitage we decided to wander up to a nearby village as we spotted a church higher up on the hill above us; they usually have a seat and shade. And on this perfect day it did. We kicked off our shoes and sat on the cold stone bench in perfectly cool shade and watched the farmers below working in the hot sun. I’d made tuna sandwiches and boiled eggs and Gerry decided that I’d accidentally made us a Salad Nicoise.
We sat and watched and I think Mr S might have even closed his eyes for a minute or two. After a while he told me to get out my phone… the poet was back!
When they’re making hay
You could watch all day
I reminded him that he’d had his eyes closed! He said he was thinking not sleeping.
We could have stayed but there was nothing for it but to pack up and move on… there were still several kilometres to be walked today.

So sad to hear that it’s bad in Melbourne… numbers are rising in France but it’s so rural here we seemed to have got away lightly… long may that continue! Stay well… lets all hope for a happier 2021 x
